Question

Write the skeletal equation for aluminum +copper chloride gives aluminum chloride and copper

Answer 1

Skeleton Equation :- Equation which is not balanced

Example :- Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O)

$H_{2}+O_{2} = > H_{2}O$

Hydrogen (H) and Chlorine (Cl)

$H_{2}+Cl_{2}= > HCl$

Answer :-

• Aluminium(Al)
• Copper (Cu)
• Chloride (Cl)

Aluminium + copper chloride gives aluminium chloride and copper

$\bold{ Al + CuCl_{2}--> AlCl_{3}+ Cu}$

If we balance the equation we get,

$\bold{ 2Al + 3CuCl_{2}--> 2AlCl_{3}+ 3Cu}$
