You are given 34.0 g of aluminum and 39.0 g of chlorine gas. If you had excess chlorine how many moles of aluminum chloride could be produced from 34.0 g of aluminum?

1.26 mol of AlCl3


How many grams of aluminum chloride can be made from 67.0 grams of aluminium and excess hydrochloric acid?

The answer is: approx. 327 g.


How many grams of aluminum chloride are produced when 18 grams of aluminum are reacted with an excess of hydrochloride acid?

The empirical formula for aluminum chloride is AlCl3, and its gram formula mass is 133.34. The formula shows that each formula unit contains one aluminum atom, and the the gram atomic mass of aluminum is 26.9815. Therefore, 18(133.34/26.9815) or 89 grams, to the justified number of significant digits, of aluminum chloride will be produced.


Name a salt which gives white precipitate on ammonium hydroxide solution and is insoluble in excess?

One such salt would be aluminum chloride since it is soluble but when reacted with ammonium hydroxide, the insoluble aluminum hydroxide forms a precipitate. Not sure what is meant by "is insoluble in excess", however.
