The fuel used to power the booster rockets on space shuttles is a mixture of aluminum metal and ammonium perchlorate. The following balanced equation represents the reaction..

3Al + 3NH4ClO4 → Al2O3 + AlCl3 + 3NO + 6H2O

How many moles of water are produced from 373 mol Al?

Also, can someone explain how to do this? I don't understand.
