Hello and welcome to OpenStudy. What reaction is this?

anonymous · Answer

combined?

wolfe8 · Answer

I mean, there should be an equation that comes with it. Or at least info that tells you what happens.

anonymous · Answer

do you mean the balanced equation, sorry I just find this all confusing

anonymous · Answer

The question I wrote is exactly what was asked in the text.

wolfe8 · Answer

Hmm I think something is missing. Anyway, can you find the number of mole of 10g of Al? These should help: http://erhs.rcsnc.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_4766394/Image/Donna%20Scofield/mole%20conversion%20map.bmp http://www.ptable.com/

anonymous · Answer

0.37 mol

wolfe8 · Answer

And you want the mass of AlCl3 so reverse that process but make sure you use the molar mass of the whole molecule

anonymous · Answer

136.5??

anonymous · Answer

oops 133.5

wolfe8 · Answer

Yup. Multiply those and you have your answer. This is assuming you have excess Cl. Do take time to read our CoC: http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct and enjoy your stay. If you are satisfied with this question and my response, you can give me a medal and close the question. See you around :)
