When aluminum metal is made to contact with chlorine gas (Cl₂), a highly exothermic reaction proceeds. This produces aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) powder. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is shown below:
2Al(s) + 3Cl₂(g) → 2AlCl₃(s)
Since it was stated that aluminum is in excess, this means that the amount of AlCl₃ produced will only depend on the amount of Cl₂ gas available. The molar mass of Cl₂ is 70.906 g/mol. Using stoichiometry, we have the following equation:
(21.0 g Cl₂/ 70.906 g/mol Cl₂) x 2 mol AlCl₃/ 2 mol Cl₂ = 0.1974 mol AlCl₃
Thus, we have determined that 0.1974 <span>moles of aluminum chloride can be produced from 21.0 g of chlorine gas. </span>

Answer:
none of the above
Explanation:
A system is said to have attained dynamic equilibrium when the forward and reverse reactions proceed at the same rate. That is;
Rate of forward reaction = Rate of reverse reaction
The implication of this is that the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant when dynamic equilibrium is attained in a system. This does not mean that the reactant and product concentrations become equal; it rather means that their concentrations do not significantly change once dynamic equilibrium has been attained.
