A sample of aluminum metal is placed in a graduated cylinder. It is noted that 5.50 mL of water is displaced by the aluminum. The aluminum is then reacted with excess nitric acid to produce aluminum nitrate and hydrogen gas. Given the density for aluminum is 2.702 g/mL, how many grams of aluminum nitrate are produced in the reaction?
2Al(s) + 6HNO3(aq) → 2Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3H2(g)
◦ 161 g
◦ 11.0 g
◦ 14.9 g
◦ 117 g
◦ 235 g
