    When The balanced equation is:

    2Al + 3CuCl2 ⇒3 Cu + 2AlCl3

    So, we want to find the limiting reactant:

    1 - no. of moles of 2Al = MV/n = (Wt * V) / (M. Wt*n*V) = Wt / (M. Wt * n)

    where M = molarity, V = volume per liter and n = number of moles in the balanced equation.

    by substitute:

    ∴ no. of moles of 2Al = 0.2 / (26.98 * 2) = 0.003706 moles.

    2 - no. of moles of 3CuCl2 = M*v / n = (0.5 * (15/1000)) / 3 = 0.0025 moles.

    So, CuCl2 is determining the no. of moles of the products.

    ∴The no. of moles of 3Cu = 0.0025 moles.

    ∴The no. of moles of Cu = 3*0.0025 = 0.0075 moles.

    and ∵ amount of weight (g) = no. of moles * M. Wt = 0.0075 * M. wt of Cu

    = 0.0075 * 63.546 = 0.477 g
