Question

Aluminum chloride is added to cesium does a single replacement reaction occur, and if so what is the correct chemical equation for this reaction
A. AlCL3 + 3Cs > No REaction
B. AlCl2 + 2Cs > 2CsCl + Al
C.AlCl3+ 3Cs > 3CsCl + Al
D. 2AlCl3 + 6Cs > 2AlCs3 + 3Cl2

Answer 1

The answer is C

I hope that helped

Answer 2

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When aluminium chloride reacts with cesium, then the reaction will be as follows.

        $AlCl_{3} + Cs \rightarrow CsCl + Al$

Number of reactant atoms are as follows.

• Al = 1
• Cl = 3
• Cs = 1

Number of product atoms are as follows.

• Al = 1
• Cl = 1
• Cs = 1

Thus, in order to balance the equation, multiply Cs by 3 on reactant side and multiply CsCl by 3 on the product side.

Therefore, the balanced chemical equation will be as follows.

     $AlCl_{3} + 3Cs \rightarrow 3CsCl + Al$    

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options, AlCl3+ 3Cs > 3CsCl + Al is the correct chemical equation.
