Hello!

(Missing)

<span>A) Put a coefficient of 3 on Al
B) Put a coefficient of 3 on O2
C) Put a coefficient of 2 on O2
D) Put a coefficient of 3 on Al2O3

A good first step to balance this reaction is Put a coefficient of 3 on O</span>₂.

All the other options don't balance an atom but putting a coefficient of 3 on O₂ achieves the goal of starting to balance Oxygen on both sides of the equation. The next step after that would be to put a coefficient of 2 on Al₂O₃ and there would be 6 Oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation.

Have a nice day!

yanalaym [24]
Answer is: sodium (Na) and iodine (I₂).

<span> First ionic bonds in this salt are separeted because of heat: 
</span>NaI(l) → Na⁺(l) + I⁻(l).

Reaction of reduction at cathode(-): Na⁺(l) + e⁻ → Na(l) /×2.

2Na⁺(l) + 2e⁻ → 2Na(l).

Reaction of oxidation at anode(+): 2I⁻(l) → I₂(l) + 2e⁻.

The anode is positive and the cathode is negative.
