Question

Chromium (Cr) can combine with chlorine (Cl2) to form chromium chloride (CrCl3). Which equation is a correct representation of this reaction?

Answer 1

The balanced equation is 2Cr + 3Cl2 = 2CrCl3

Answer 2

Answer: The chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

When chromium metal reacts with chlorine gas, it leads to the production of chromium chloride.

The chemical equation for the formation of chromium chloride follows:

$2Cr(s)+3Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2CrCl_3(s)$

This is a type of combination reaction because two small substances react to form one large substance.

Hence, the chemical equation is written above.
