Question

Aluminum reacts with chlorine gas to form aluminum chloride via the following reaction:

2Al(s)+3Cl2(g)→2AlCl3(s)2Al(s)+3Cl2(g)→2AlCl3(s)

You are given 21.0 gg of aluminum and 26.0 gg of chlorine gas.

Part A: If you had excess chlorine, how many moles of of aluminum chloride could be produced from 21.0 gg of aluminum?

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

 
Part B: If you had excess aluminum, how many moles of aluminum chloride could be produced from 26.0 gg of chlorine gas, Cl2Cl2?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
I Review I Constants I Periodic Table
In the following chemical reaction, 2 mol of A will react
with 1 mol of B to produce 1 mol of A2B without
anything left over:
Aluminum reacts with chlorine gas to form aluminum chloride via the following reaction:
2A +B→A2B
2Al(s) + 3Cl2 (g)→2AIC\3 (s)
But what if you're given 2.8 mol of A and 3.2 mol of
B? The amount of product formed is limited by the
reactant that runs out first, called the limiting reactant. To
identify the limiting reactant, calculate the amount of
product formed from each amount of reactant separately:
You are given 21.0 g of aluminum and 26.0 g of chlorine gas.

Notice that less product is formed with the given amount
of reactant A. Thus, A is the limiting reactant, and a
maximum of 1.4 mol of A2B can be formed from the
given amounts.

Step 1

The reaction is:

2Al(s)+3Cl2(g)→2AlCl3(s)

We will calculate both theoretical yield for Al and Cl2.
