When 0.4 mols of $A l_{2} O_{3}$ is heated with carbon, a brown solid X is formed along with evolution of a neutral gas which burns with blue flame.
What amount (in gm) of methane gas will be formed when X so formed is completely hydrolyzed with water?

Solution

$2 A l_{2} O_{3} + 9 C ⟶ A l_{4} C_{3}_{(B r o w n s o l i d)} + 6 C O_{(g)}$
So, when 0.4 mol of $A l_{2} O_{3}$ is heated with carbon, 0.2 mols of $A l_{4} C_{3}$ will be formed.
$A l_{4} C_{3} + 12 H_{2} O ⟶ 4 A l (O H)_{3} + 3 C H_{4}_{(g)}$
0.2 mols of $A l_{4} C_{3}$ on complete hydrolysis will give $0.2 \times 3 = 0.6$ moles of $C H_{4}$ = 9.6 g of $C H_{4}$

When 0.4 mols of Al2O3 is heated with carbon, a brown solid X is formed along with evolution of a neutral gas which burns with blue flame. What amount (in gm) of methane gas will be formed when X so formed is completely hydrolyzed with water?

2Al2O3+9C⟶Al4C3 (Brown solid)+6CO (g) So, when 0.4 mol of Al2O3 is heated with carbon, 0.2 mols of Al4C3 will be formed. Al4C3+12H2O⟶4Al(OH)3+3CH4 (g) 0.2 mols of Al4C3 on complete hydrolysis will give 0.2×3=0.6 moles of CH4 = 9.6 g of CH4
