Aluminium carbide reacts with water according to the following equation: Al 4 Cl 3 + 12H 2 O gives 4Al 2 (OH) 3 + 3CH 4 (1)what mass of aluminium hydroxide is formed frm 12g of aluminium carbide ? (2)what volume of methane at s.t.p is obtained from 12g of aluminium carbide? [Relative molecular weight of AlCl 3 =144; Al(OH) 3 =78]

According to balance equation 
Al4C3 + 12 H2O → 3CH4 + 4Al(OH)3
Molar mass of aluminium carbide is 144 g mol-1
Number of moles of Aluminium carbide = 12 g/ 144 g mol-1
​                                                                       = 1/12 mol
​1 mol of aluminium carbide produce 3 moles of methane at STP.
1 mole = 22.4 L at STP
Therefore 3 mole = 3 x 22.4 L  = 67.2 L of methane at STP​
Or 1 mole of Aluminium carbide produce 67.2 L of methane at STP
therefore 1/12 mol of Aluminium carbide will produce = 67.2 L/1 mol x 1/12 mol
                                                                                   = 5.6 L of methane
