Question

Which one of the following substances is the product of this combination reaction? Al (s) + I2 (s) → ________(A) AlI2(B) AlI(C) AlI3(D) Al2I3(E) Al3I2

Answer 1

Answer:

$AlI_3$

Explanation:

Combination reactions are the reactions in which two or more atoms/ molecules combine to give a single product.

Aluminum metal combines with iodine to given aluminium iodide.

Aluminium has a valency of 3 and iodine has valency of 1, so the formula is $AlI_3$

The reaction is shown below as:

$Al_{(s)}+I_2_{(s)}\rightarrow AlI_3_{(s)}$
