Question

What are the coefficients that will balance this skeleton equation? AlCl3 + NaOH → Al(OH)3 + NaCl

Answer 1

Answer:

The coefficients are 1, 3, 1, 3

Explanation:

The equation;

AlCl3 + NaOH → Al(OH)3 + NaCl

can be balanced by using the coefficients  1, 3, 1, 3, such that the balanced equation will be;

AlCl3 + 3NaOH → Al(OH)3 + 3NaCl

Chemical equations needs to be balanced so as to follow the law of conservation of mass. This occurs when the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.
