Al2Cl6 (266.7 g/mol) is made by treating scrap aluminum with chlorine gas. If a reaction is run with 270 g of aluminum and 710 g of chlorine. Do the following calculations. Balance reaction equation is given below for your convenient. 2 Al (s) + 3 Cl2(g) → Al2Cl6(s)
a. Find the limiting reactant.
b. Find the theoretical yield of Al2Cl6
c. If mass of 469.0 g of Al2Cl6 was produced from the above reaction what was the percent yield for this reaction?
