Aluminum chloride is made from aluminum metal and chlorine gas, as shown:
2Al(s) + 3Cl2(g) ---> 2AlCl3(s)
When 10.0g of aluminum and 25.0g of chlorine are reacted, 18.6g of aluminum chloride is formed. Determine:
a) the limiting reactant
b) the theoretical yield in grams
c) the percent yield for this reaction
d) the excess reactant in grams
