A mixture of LiAlH4 and LiCl weighs 7.51 g. LiAlH4 reacts exothermically with ethanol according to the following equation LiAlH4(s) + 4CH3CH2OH(l) → Li[Al(OC2H5)4](s) + 4H2
14.48 g of Li[Al(OC2H5)4] is formed when this sample is dissolved in CH3CH2OH, what percentage of the original sample is LiAlH4, also what percentage is LiCl? Assuming LiAlH4 is completely turned into Li[Al(OC2H5)4] and LiCl dissolves in ethanol
