(NH4)2SO4 + Al2(SO4)3•18H2O -------->
(NH4)2SO4.Al2(SO4)3.18H2O
no of moles of (NH4)2SO4Â Â = w/G.M.Wt
                                        Â
= 14.22/132.06 = 0.1076 moles
no of moles of Al2(SO4)3•18H2O = W/G.M.Wt
                                                Â
= 30.19/666.36Â Â =0.0453 moles
from the balanced equation 1 mole of (NH4)2SO4 react with 1
moles of Al2(SO4)3•18H2O
limiting reagent is Al2(SO4)3•18H2O
1 mole of Al2(SO4)3•18H2O react with (NH4)2SO4 to form 1 mole of
(NH4)2SO4.Al2(SO4)3.18H2O
0.0453 moles of Al2(SO4)3•18H2O react with (NH4)2SO4 to form
0.0453 mole of (NH4)2SO4.Al2(SO4)3.18H2O
mass of (NH4)2SO4.Al2(SO4)3.18H2O = no of moles * molar mass
                                                        Â
= 0.0453*798.42 = 36.16 gm
the theoretical yield of the resulting alum is 36.16 gm
