Electrolysis Question

Could someone help me with this AP Chem type question on how to solve it...

"A steady electric current is passed through molten MgCl2 for exactly 1.00 hour producing 243 g of Mg metal. If the same current is passed through molten AlCl3, for 1.00 hour, the mass of Al metal produced is closest to...

a.) 27.0g
b.) 54.0g
c.) 120.g
d.) 180.g
e.) 270.g

Help me out if you can!!

Re: Electrolysis Question

Write the equation for reduction of Mg(II) to Mg(0). Given mass of product, how many moles of electrons went in? If you do the same things for aluminum, how may moles of Al(0) come out? Convert to grams.
