Aluminum and cloride undergoes a synthesis reaction if 8molnof Al reacts with 10mol of cl, what is the maximum amount of AlCl3 can produce

The mass of produced is 889.38 g

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of Al = 8 mol

Moles of = 10 mol

For the given chemical reaction:

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 3 moles of chlorine gas reacts with 2 moles of Al

So, 10 moles of chlorine gas will react with = of Al

As the given amount of Al is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, chlorine gas is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 3 moles of produces 2 mole of

So, 10 moles of will produce = of

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

We know, molar mass of = 133.34 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the mass of produced is 889.38 g
