Question:

In 120 grams of chlorohydrate, how many grams are aluminum?

I would really apreciate an answer with work

Answer:

There is no aluminum in chlorhydrate. Perhaps you mean aluminum chlorhydrate which is used as an antiperspirant. Even then we have a problem because aluminum chlorihydrate does not refer to a specific compound, but a class of compounds with the general formula AlnCl(3n-m)(OH)m To illustrate a solution, let's pick a simple compound, AlCl(OH)2. 120. AlCl(OH)2 x (1 mol AlCl(OH)2 / 92.5 g AlCl(OH)2) x (1 mol Al / 1 mol AlCl(OH)2) x (27.0g Al / 1 mol Al) = 35g Al
