Answer:
The answer to your question is 3 moles of AlCl₃
Explanation:
Process
1.- Write and balance the equation
Al(NO₃)₃ + 3NaCl ⇒ 3NaNO₃ + AlCl₃
2.- Determine the limiting reactant
Theoretical proportion 1 mol Al(NO₃)₃ : 3 moles of NaCl
Experimental proportion 4 moles Al(NO₃)₃ : 9 moles NaCl
From these values, we determine that the limiting reactant is NaCl because the number of moles increases three times and the number of moles of Al(NO₃)₃ increases four times.
3.- Determine the amount of AlCl₃ using proportions
3 moles of NaCl --------------- 1 mol of AlCl₃
9 moles of NaCl ---------------- x
x = (9 x 1) / 3
x = 9 /3
x = 3 moles
Balanced equation: 2Al+Fe2O3–> Al2O3+2Fe
Using mole calculations you can find that 10g of Al produces 24.3g of Fe under the conditions described

To prevent the hydrolysis and to catalyse the reaction.
Explanation:
- Sulphuric acid is the catalyst and also a dehydrating agent in this reaction.
- Sulphuric acid is using in redox reaction because sulphuric acid is providing H+ ions which is necessary for this reaction to occur more quickly, but the sulphate ions from the sulphuric acid barely react during this process. So H2SO4 is adding in this reaction to make it more acidic.
- H2SO4 is preventing hydrolysis by providing excess H+ ions into the reaction. H2SO4 is stable towards the direction of oxidation.
