    Well, you start by looking at the equation and using common sense. Don't panic just because this is chemistry.
The coefficients in the balanced equation tell you that 6 mols HCl produce 2 molls AlCl3. So if you only wanted 1 mol AlCl3, how many mols of HCl would be required?
What if we did this in hamburgers instead of AlCl3 and HCl.
2 buns + 2 pieces of meat + 4 pickles ==> 2 hamburgers. So how many buns are needed to make 1 hamburger? 1
How many pieces of meat? 1
How many pickles? 2
Or, if you don't like hamburgers, use cars. If it takes you 1 hour to drive 60 miles, how long will it take to drive 30 miles? 1/2 an hour.
