Question

Solid aluminum metal and diatomic bromine liquid react spontaneously to form a solid product. give the balanced chemical equation (including phases) that describes this reaction. indicate the phases using abbreviation (s), (l), or (g) for solid, liquid, or gas, respectively.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Aluminium being metal reacts violently with liquid bromine. It is a highly exothermic reaction during which large amount of heat is released.

Aluminum when reacts with liquid bromine it gives aluminium bromide as a product.

The balanced chemical equation is given as:

$2Al(s) + 3Br_2(l)\rightarrow 2AlBr_3(s)$

According stoichiometry, 2 moles of aluminum metal react with 3 mole of liquid bromine to give 2 moles of aluminum bromide.

Answer 2

Aluminum has a chemical formula of Al, while diatomic bromine has a chemical formula of Br₂. The balanced chemical reaction is shown below:

2 Al (s) + 3 Br₂ (l) → 2 AlBr₃ (s)

The solid product is called Dibromoaluminum. The stoichiometric coefficients are used to balance the reaction to obey the Law of Conservation of Mass.
