When Mixed, Solutions of Aluminum Nitrate, Al(NO3)3, and Ammonium Carbonate

Question 75

Multiple Choice

When mixed, solutions of aluminum nitrate, Al(NO3) 3, and ammonium carbonate, (NH4) 2CO3, will form a precipitate of aluminum carbonate, Al2(CO3) 3. The balanced equation is 2Al(NO3) 3(aq) + 3(NH4) 2CO3(aq) → Al2(CO3) 3 (s) + 6NH4NO3(aq) Which of the following statements regarding this reaction is incorrect?


A) 2 moles of Al(NO3) 3 will react with 3 moles of (NH4) 2CO3.
B) If 6 moles of (NH4) 2CO3 react with sufficient Al(NO3) 3, 2 moles of Al2(CO3) 3 should form.
C) If 0.5 mole of (NH4) 2CO3 react with sufficient Al(NO3) 3, 3 moles of Al2(CO3) 3 should form.
D) If 1.5 moles of Al2(CO3) 3 are formed, given sufficient starting materials, then 9 moles of NH4NO3 should also form.
E) 4 moles of Al(NO3) 3 will react with 6 moles of (NH4) 2CO3.
