Write the complete balanced equation for the reaction between aluminum metal (Al) and chlorine gas (Cl2). You do not need to make the subscripts smaller; just write them out as regular numbers. For example: Cl2.

Respuesta :

The complete balanced equation that you need would be the next one:
2 Al (s) & 3 Cl2 (g) --> 2 AlCl3 (s) 

I hope this can help you greatly

Answer:

[tex]2Al(s)+3Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3[/tex]

Thus 2 moles of aluminium react with 3 moles of chlorine to give 2 moles of aluminium(II) chloride.

This is an example of redox reaction in which Aluminium gets oxidised to [tex]Al^{3+}[/tex] by losing electrons and chlorine gets reduced by gaining electrons to convert to [tex]Cl^{-1}[/tex] ions forming aluminium(III) chloride.
