When 5.0 mol Al react with 13 mol HCl, what is the limiting reactant, and how many moles of AlCl3 can be formed? 2 Al + 6HCl → 2 AlCl3 + 3 H2
Al is the limiting reactant, 5.0 mol AlCl3 can be formed HCl is the limiting reactant, 4.3 mol AlCl3 can be formed Al is the limiting reactant, 7.5 mol AlCl3 can be formed HCl is the limiting reactant, 6.5 mol AlCl3 can be formed

Watch this video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6UQX7ZdkTg A limiting a reagent is the reagent that is used up first, or rather the reagent that limits how much product is produced. 1. take moles of Al convert to one of the products using reaction equation 2. take moles of HCl convert to the same product in step 1 3. The limiting reagent will be the one that gives you the smallest number of moles of the product.
Hope this helps
