Hey there! :

Molar mass:

Al = 26.9815 g/mol

AlCl₃ = 133.3405 g/mol

Reaction stochemistry ,calculates the mass of AlCl3 produced

2 Al + 3 Cl₂ = 2 AlCl₃

2 * 26.9815 g Al --------------------- 2 * 133.3405 g AlCl₃

8.82 g Al ------------------------------- ( mass of AlC₃ )

mass of AlCl₃ = ( 8.82 * 2 * 133.3405 ) / ( 2 * 26.9815 )

mass of AlCl₃ = 2352.12642 / 53.963

mass of AlCl₃ = 43.58 g of AlCl₃

Hope this helps!
