Question

What is the balanced equation of aluminium + copper chloride gives aluminium chloride + copper?

Answer 1

Equation :

Al + CuCl2 ---> AlCl3 + Cu

Balanced:

2Al + 3 CuCl2 ---> 2AlCl3 + 3Cu

Answer 2

2Al + 3CuCl₂---------------->2AlCl₃+3Cu

This is a Displacement reaction where Al(a high reactive metal) displaces Cu(a less reactive metal) from its salt solution
