### Calculating Volume of Hydrogen Gas Produced in a Reaction

In this educational section, we will determine the volume of hydrogen gas (\(H_2\)) produced from the reaction of aluminum (\(Al\)) with hydrochloric acid (\(HCl\)) at standard temperature and pressure (STP).

#### Problem Statement
What volume in liters of \(H_2\) gas would be produced by the complete reaction of **2.93 g of Al** solid at STP according to the following reaction? Remember that **1 mol** of an ideal gas has a volume of **22.4 L** at STP.
\[2 Al (s) + 6 HCl (aq) \rightarrow 2 AlCl_3 (aq) + 3 H_2 (g)\]

#### Setting Up the Calculation
To solve this problem, we will use the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation. 

1. **Calculate moles of \(Al\)**:
   Given:
   - Mass of \(Al\) = 2.93 g
   - Molar mass of \(Al\) = 26.98 g/mol 

   \[\text{Moles of } Al = \frac{2.93 \, \text{g}}{26.98 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.1087 \, \text{mol}\]

2. **Use the stoichiometric ratio** between \(Al\) and \(H_2\) from the balanced equation:
   - From the equation, 2 moles of \(Al\) produce 3 moles of \(H_2\).

   \[\text{Moles of } H_2 = 0.1087 \, \text{mol Al} \times \frac{3 \, \text{mol H}_2}{2 \, \text{mol Al}} = 0.1630 \, \text{mol H}_2\]

3. **Calculate the volume of \(H_2\) gas** at STP:
   - Using the ideal gas law where 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP occupies 22.4 liters,
   
   \[\text{Volume of } H_2 = 0.1630 \, \text{mol} \times 22.4 \, \text{L/mol} = 3.65 \, \text
