Answer:

6.67 moles

Explanation:

Given that:-

Moles of hydrogen gas produced = 10.0 moles

According the reaction shown below:-

$2Al + 6HCl\rightarrow 2AlCl_3 +3H_2$

3 moles of hydrogen gas are produced when 2 moles of aluminium undergoes reaction.

Also,

1 mole of hydrogen gas are produced when $\frac{2}{3}$ moles of aluminium undergoes reaction.

So,

10.0 moles of hydrogen gas are produced when $\frac{2}{3}\times 10.0$ moles of aluminium undergoes reaction.

<u>Moles of Al needed = $\frac{2}{3}\times 10.0$ moles = 6.67 moles</u>
