162g of solid aluminum reacts with 331g of aqueous lead (II) nitrate to produce Predict the products. Then, write the balanced chemical equation: Identify the type of reaction: Determine the limiting reactant : ??????????? ??? Calculate the amount (g) of aluminum nitrate formed: Calculate the amount (g) of reactant in excess that remains: Solution 2Al(s) + 3Pb(NO3)2(aq) ----------->2 Al(NO3)3(aq) +3Pb(s) no of moles of Al   = W/G.A.Wt = 162/27  = 6 moles no of moles of Pb(NO3)2  = W/G.M.Wt = 331/331  = 1moles 2 moles of Al react with 3 moles of Pb(NO3)2 6 moles of Al react with = 3*6/2  = 9 moles of Pb(NO3)2 is required. Pb(NO3)2 is limiting reactant 3 moles Pb(NO3)2 react with Al to gives 2 moles of Al(NO3)3 1 moles of Pb(NO3)2 react with Al to gives = 2*1/3  = 0.67 moles of Al(NO3)3 mass of Al(NO3)3 = no of moles * gram molar mass = 0.67*213  = 142.71g 3 moles of Pb(NO3)2 react with 2 moles of Al 1 moles of Pb(NO3)2 react with = 2*1/3   = 0.67 moles of Al The no of moles of excess reactant remains after complete the reaction = 6-0.67  = 5.33 moles of Al The amount of excess reactant remains after complete the reaction = 5.33*27  = 143.91g of Al .
