How many moles of Cl₂ are consumed when 0.500 moles of AlCl₃ are produced in the following equation? 2Al + 3Cl₂ $\rarr$ 2AlCl₃

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the balanced equation, 2 moles of AlCl₃ are produced from 3 moles of Cl₂. Therefore, the mole ratio of Cl₂ to AlCl₃ is 3/2. Thus, to produce 0.500 moles of AlCl₃, we need (0.500 moles) x (3/2) = 0.750 moles of Cl₂. Therefore, the answer is C.
