Firstly, you need a balanced equation:
2Al(s) + 3CuCl2 (aq) ----> 2AlCl3 (aq) + 3Cu (s)
Now, you need to convert grams to moles:
Moles of Al = 0.25 g x 26.98 g mol-1 = 9.266 x 10-3 mol Al (s)
From the equation above we see that the ratio of CuCl2 to Al(s) is simply 3:2 so we must work out the moles of CuCl2 required to react completely with Al(s):
Moles of CuCl2 = 9.266 x 10-3 x 3/2 = 0.0139 mol CuCl2
Next convert moles to grams:
Grams CuCl2 = 0.0139 mol CuCl2 x 134.45 g mol-1 = 1.869 g
This means that you would need 1.869g of Copper II Chloride to reacted completely with 0.25 g Aluminium.
Therefore, Copper II Chloride is the Limiting Reactant.

If 0.25 g of Aluminum react with 0.6g of Copper sulfate then which one is the limiting reactant?
Aluminum would be the limiting reagent
What happens when you mix copper II chloride in water and then add aluminum folio into the mixture?
The products of the reaction are aluminium trichloride, copper and hydrogen.
Is copper a product or a reactant?
For copper, it is an element. It could be both reactant and product. While purifying copper will be the product. But copper would be the reactant in case of preparing hydrogen or copper sulphate salts.
Is copper denser than aluminium?
Stainless steel is heavier then aluminium.
Is Copper(II) Chloride?
No. Copper(I) chloride and copper(II) chloride are both ionic solids.

What is the limiting reagent when sodium hydroxide and copper chloride react?

What is the chemical formula for copper (II) chloride?
There are two kinds of copper chloride. Copper(I) chloride is CuCl. Copper(II) chloride is CuCl2.
Is copper chloride liquid?
No. Copper(I) chloride and copper(II) chloride are both ionic solids.
Is Copper(II) Chloride?
No. Copper(I) chloride and copper(II) chloride are both ionic solids.
What is copper chloride split into by electrolysis?
copper + Chlorine = copper chloride
What is the formulas for the compounds called copper1 chloride and copper 2 chloride?
Copper I Chloride is CuCl and Copper II Chloride CuCl2
Copper oxide+chloride+copper chloride?
CuCl2.
