Moles of Aluminum needed : 0.8
Further explanation
Given
1.2 moles H₂
Required
moles of aluminum
Solution
The reaction coefficient in a chemical equation shows the mole ratio of the components of the compounds involved in the reaction (reactants and products)
Reaction(balanced equation)
2Al + 6 HCl = 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂
From the equation, mol ratio of Al : H₂ = 2 : 3, so mol Al :
= 2/3 x mol H₂
= 2/3 x 1.2
= 0.8 moles
