Answer to Question #269428 in General Chemistry for mai

Question

Calculate the theoretical yield of aluminum chloride (in grams) that can be produced from 10.00 grams of aluminum metal.  

Answer 1

Al$=26.982$

Cl$=35.453$

Al Cl₃$=133.34$

2Al $+3$ Cl₂ $\to2$Al Cl₃

Log of Aluminium $=\frac{10}{26.982}=0.3706moles$

Mole ratio $=$ Al $:$ Al Cl₃

$=1:1$

Moles of Al Cl₃ $=0.3706moles$

Mass $=0.3706×133.34$

$=49.418g$
