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

Equation: 2Ga + 6HCl ⟶ 2GaCl₃ + 3H₂

$Molarity (M) = \frac{moles of solute}{Liters of solution}$

The flow of the problem is:

molarity HCl (volume HCl)⟶ mole to mole comparison ⟶ moles GaCl₃ ⟶ molar mass GaCl₃

The steps necessary to determine the number of moles and mass of gallium chloride are:
