Answer is: 8,7g.

Chemical reaction: 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂.

m (Al) = 78,4g.

n (Al) = m (Al) : M (Al) = 78,4g : 27g/mol = 2,9 mol.

n - amount of substance.

from reaction: n (Al) : n (H₂) = 2 : 3.

2,9mol : n (H₂) = 2 : 3.

n (H₂) = 4,35 mol.

m (H₂) = n (H₂) ·M (H₂) = 4,35mol · 2g/mol = 8,7g.
