Based on the equation below, how many moles of hydrogen gas are produced from 8.80 moles of aluminum?

 2Al  +    6HCl --->  2AlCl3  +  3H2

a. 5.47 moles

b. 13.2 moles

c. 26.4 moles

d. 1.5 moles

e. 2.0 moles

You set up a proportion

2 Moles Al for every 3 moles of H

Therefore if we have 8.8 moles of Al we need to set up a proportion. 2/3 =8.8/n

2*n = 3*8.8

n= (3*8.8)/2 

which is 13.2 mole Al

19. If a chemical reaction occurs that starts with 5 hydrogen atoms, what must be true about the products?

a. The product must have 5 hydrogen atoms.

b. The product must have less than or equal to 5 hydrogen atoms.

c. The product must have more than or equal to 5 hydrogen atoms.
