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 17.0  of aluminum with 22.0  of chlorine? Express your answer numerically in grams.

Please read the Forum Rules.  You should that you've at least attempted to answer the problem before we will help you.

Hint: the first step is to figure out how many moles of aluminum and chlorine you have and then figure out which one is the limiting reagent.  It may be helpful to review limiting reagents in your chemistry textbook.
