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>

Butane, C4H10, reacts with oxygen, O2, to form water, H2O, and carbon dioxide, CO2, as shown in the following chemical equation:
Wittaler [7]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>2C4H10(g)+13O2(g)->10H2O(g)+8CO2(g) 
</span>
<span>Calculate the mass of water produced when 1.77 grams of butane reacts with excessive oxygen?
</span>1.77 g C4H10 (1 mol C4H10/58.14 g C4H10) (10 mol H2O / 2 mol C4H10) ( 1.01 g H2O / 1 mol H2O ) = <span>0.15 g H2O

</span><span>Calculate the mass of butane needed to produce 71.6 of carbon dioxide.
</span>71.6 g CO2 (1 mol CO2/ 44.01 g CO2) ( 2 mol C4H10 / 8 mol CO2 ) (58.14 g C4H10 / 1 mol C4H10 ) = 23.65 g C4H10
