Answer:

33.3 g AlCl3

Step-by-step explanation:

First:

You need a balanced chem equation.

2Al + 3Cl2 --->2AlCl3

So now you use this to set up train track method which helps us cancel out the units. Also we dont care about chlorine because it is excess.

6.73g Al x 1mol Al/26.98g Al x 2mol AlCl3/2molAl x 133.34g AlCl3/1molAlCl3

= 33.3 g AlCl3
