The coefficient in a chemical formula represents the amount of each chemical present. The amount of a substance is measured in moles.
Answer:
7.335 moles of Cl₂ are required to react with 4.89 miles of Al.
Explanation:
Given data:
Moles of Al = 4.89 mol
Number of moles of Cl₂ required = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2Al + 3Cl₂ → 2AlCl₃
Now we will compare the moles of Al and chlorine from balance chemical equation.
Al : Cl₂
2 : 3
4.89 : 3/2×4.89 =7.335 mol
Thus, 7.335 moles of Cl₂ are required to react with 4.89 miles of Al.
I don’t know if this would help but my cousin said this: Molecular weight of chlorine = 71, so 7.1/71 = 0.1 mol of Cl2
