Answer: 15.0 moles of copper

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:-

$2Al(s)+3CuCl_2(aq)\rightarrow 3Cu(s)+2AlCl_3(aq)$

Aluminium is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

According to stoichiometry:-

2 moles of aluminium produce = 3 moles of copper

10 moles of aluminium produce = $\frac{3}{2}\times 10=15$ moles of copper.

Thus 15 moles of copper will be produced from 10 moles of aluminium.
