Solid aluminum metal and diatomic chlorine gas react spontaneously to form a solid product. Give the balanced chemical equation
1 answer:
When solid aluminum metal is reacted with diatomic chlorine gas, solid aluminum chloride is formed. This reaction is an example of synthesis or chemical combination in which two elements, aluminum and chlorine combine to form a new compound aluminum chloride.
Word equation: Aluminum (s)+ Chlorine (g)---> Aluminum chloride(s)
Molecular formula of the product formed is .
Therefore the balanced chemical equation representing the reaction of solid aluminum with gaseous dichlorine can be represented as,

Answer:
- The first picture attached is the diagram that accompanies the question.
- The<u> second picture attached</u> is the diagram with the answer.
Explanation:
In the box on the left there are 8 Cl⁻ ions and 8 Na⁺ ions.
The dissociaton equation for NaCl(aq) is:
- NaCl (aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻(aq)
The dissociation equation for CaCl₂ (aq) is:
- CaCl₂ (aq) → Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)
A 0.10MCaCl₂ (aq) solution will have half the number of CaCl₂ units as the number of NaCl units in a 0.20M NaCl (aq) solution.
Thus, while the 0.20M NaCl (aq) solution yields 8 ions of Na⁺ and 8 ions of Cl⁻, the 0.10MCaCl₂ (aq) solution will yield 4 ions of Ca²⁺ (half because the concentration if half) and 8 ions of Cl⁻ (first take half and then multiply by 2 because the dissociation reaction).
Thus, your drawing must show 4 dots representing Ca²⁺ ions and 8 dots representing Cl⁻ ions in the box on the right.
