This reaction is not possible. The reverse reaction is favored, as sodium would rather be oxidized by aluminum, not the other way around.
And from that, I find
So instead, I will solve this question:
How many mL of 5.6 M
#"NaCl"# would contain the amount of mols generated by reacting 250.0 g#"AlCl"_3# with sufficient#"Na"(s)# ?
#3"Na"(s) + "AlCl"_3(aq) -> 3"NaCl"(aq) + "Al"(s)#
#E_(cell)^@ = -"1.66 V" - (-"2.71 V") = "1.05 V"#
Values found here.
In this case,
#250.0 cancel("g AlCl"_3) xx "1 mol"/(133.34 cancel("g AlCl"_3)) = "1.875 mols AlCl"_3#
From the reaction coefficients,
Therefore, we need a volume of
#5.625 cancel("mols NaCl"(aq)) xx "1 L"/(5.6 cancel"mols") = "1.004 L"#
