Aluminum reacts with chlorine gas to form aluminum chloride via the following reaction: 2al(s)+3cl2(g)→2alcl3(s) what is the maximum mass of aluminum chloride that can be formed when reacting 32.0 g of aluminum with 37.0 g of chlorine? express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

For each of the following types of reactions, write a general reaction formula in the symbolic form—for example, a + b → ab. single-displacement double-displacement synthesis decomposition
