    65.2 grams

    Explanation:

    The balanced equation of the reaction is:

    2AlCl₃ + 3Br₂ → 2AlBr₃ + 3Cl₂

    It is clear that 2 mol of AlCl₃ react with 3 mol of Br₂.

    firstly, we need to calculate the number of moles of both

    for AlCl₃:

    number of moles = mass / molar mass = (36.2 g) / (133.34 g/mol) = 0.271 mol.

    2 mol of AlCl₃ needs → 3 mol of Br₂

    0.27 mol of AlCl₃ needs →? mol of Br₂

    ∴ the number of mol of Br₂ needed = (0.271 * 3) / 2 = 0.405 mol

    for Br₂:

    mass = number of moles * molar mass = (0.407 mol) * (159.8 g/mol) = 65.1 g.

    So, the right choice is 65.2 grams
