Aluminum chloride, AlCl3, is made by treating scrap aluminum with chlorine. 2 Al (s) + 3 Cl2 (g) → 2 AlCl3 (s). If you begin with 6.73 g of aluminum and 31.43 g of chlorine,
(a) Which reactant is the limiting reagent?
(b) What mass of AlCl3 can be produced?
(c) What mass of excess reactant remains when the reaction is completed?
