Hello

The balance chemical reaction is 2Al + 6HCl - à 2AlCl3 + 3H2 Assuming excess amount of HCl because it is not given Mole Al reacted = 13.5 g (1 mole / 27 g) = 0.5 mole Al

Mole H2 = 0.5 mol Al (3 mole H2 / 2 mole Al) = 0.75 mole H2

since at STP then 1 mole gas occupies 22.414 L volume H2 = 0.75 mole (22.414 L / mol) = 16.8105 L H2

Have a nice day
