4 moles of Aluminum

Explanation:

If we assume that we are creating Aluminum Chloride from the
metal-acid reaction between Aluminum and hydrochloric acid we can begin with the balanced chemical reaction below.

2Al + 6HCl -> 2AlCl_3 + 3H_22Al+6HCl2AlCl3+3H2

We can use the mole ratio (2 mol Al)/(2 mol AlCl_3)2molAl2molAlCl3

The stoichiometry equation becomes

4 mol AlCl_3 (2 mol Al)/(2 mol AlCl_3)4molAlCl32molAl2molAlCl3

4 cancel(mol AlCl_3) (cancel2 mol Al)/(cancel2 cancel(mol AlCl_3))

= 4 mol Al
