4.3 Exercise 6

Avg difficulty 2.5

Gallium chloride is formed by the reaction of 2.6 L of a 1.44 M solution of HCl according to the following equation: 2Ga+6HCl⟶2GaCl3+3H2.2 \text{Ga} + 6 \text{HCl} \rightarrow 2 \text{GaCl}_{3} + 3 \text{H}_{2} .

(a) Outline the steps necessary to determine the number of moles and mass of gallium chloride.

(b) Perform the calculations outlined.
