Consider the reaction of aluminum chloride (AlCl3) with sulfuric acid (H2SO4):2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2SO4(aq) ? Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 6HCl(aq)
(a) 2.67 g of aluminum chloride is reacted with 1.96 g of sulfuric acid. Calculate the moles of aluminum chloride and sulfuric acid.
(b) Identify the limiting reagent.
(c) Assuming complete reaction, determine the amount (in grams) of excess reagent that remains in the reaction
