For that we need to know something about the chemistry aluminum sulfide and aluminum hydroxide. Aluminum sulfide will react with water to make insoluble aluminum hydroxide and hydrogen sulfide gas. Therefore, we need a balanced chemical equation.
Al2S3(s) + 6HOH --> 2Al(OH)3(s) + 3H2S(g)
17.7g ........................ ???g
17.7g Al2S3 x (1 mol Al2S3 / 150.3 g Al2S3) x (2 mol Al(OH)3 / 1 mol Al2S3) x (78.0g Al(OH)3 / 1 mol Al(OH)3) = 18.4 g Al(OH)3 ...... to three significant digits.
Al2S3(s) + 6HOH --> 2Al(OH)3(s) + 3H2S(g)
17.7g ........................ ???g
17.7g Al2S3 x (1 mol Al2S3 / 150.3 g Al2S3) x (2 mol Al(OH)3 / 1 mol Al2S3) x (78.0g Al(OH)3 / 1 mol Al(OH)3) = 18.4 g Al(OH)3 ...... to three significant digits.
