HELP PLS WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND THANKS In a reaction chamber, 3.0mol of aluminum is mixed with 5.3mol Cl2 and reacts. The reaction is described by the following balanced chemical equation.

2Al + 3Cl2 ==> 2AlCl3

a)Identify the limiting reagent for the reaction.
b)Calculate the number of moles or products formed

you have school on Sunday?

first, consult an activity series chart to determine if al is more reactive than fe. it is, so it will replace the fe. now, one can continue with the problem.

next, make sure you have a correctly balanced equation.

3feo + 2al ==> 3fe + al2o3

now, determine which reactant (feo or al) is in limiting supply.

moles feo present = 125 g x 1 mole/71.8 g = 1.74 moles

moles al present = 25.0 g x 1 mole/26.98 g = 0.927 moles

since from the balanced equation, it take 3 mol feo for every 2 mol al, al will be limiting.

you can determine this simply by dividing moles of each by their coefficient in the balanced equation. for example: 1.74/3 = 0.58 and 0.927/2 = 0.464. al is less, so it is limiting.

finally, using the stoichiometry in the balanced eq. determine mass of fe that can be produced from 0.927 moles of al.

0.927 moles al x 3 moles fe/2 moles al x 55.8 g/mole = 77.6 g

the answer is a. co2, this would be colder than the : )
