Pure Aluminum (Al) metal reacts with Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) to produce aluminum chloride (AlCl3) and Hydrogen (H2) gas.
•Write the balance chemical equation for the reaction describe above.
•Evaluate the given word equation above, the expected mass for AlCl3 to be formed is 3.5 g but the actual mass of AlCl3 produced is 3.1 g, what is the percentage yield of the reaction?

Answer:
1. 2Al + 2HCl₃ ⇒ 2AlCl₃ + H₂
2. 3.1 g/3.5 g x 100% = 88.57%
hope it helps
