nAluminum (III) sulfate reacts with
sodium nitrate to give the double replacement products sodium
sulfate and aluminum (III) nitrate. If I
have 11.00 g aluminum (III) sulfate , how many grams of sodium
nitrate would I need for a complete reaction to occur? If, after
complete reaction, I recover 1.50 g of aluminum (III) nitrate,
what was the % yield of the reaction?
