Limiting reactant
Aluminum chloride is produced by treating aluminum metal with chlorine:
2 Al(s) + 3 Cl2(g) → 2 AlCl3(s)
A reaction is begun with 2.70
g of Al and 4.05 g of Cl2. What is the maximum amount, in grams, of AlCl3 produced? Which reactant is the excess
reactant and how many grams of it is left over after the reaction is complete?
