Question

When the equation is correctly balanced, the coefficient of aluminum chloride will be ___.

Answer 1

The answer for the following question is answered below.

Therefore when the equation is balanced the co-efficient of aluminium chloride will be 2.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the following equation is:

$AlCl_{3}$ + $Ba(OH)_{2}$  → $Al(OH)_{3}$ + $BaCl_{2}$

To balance an equation:

• Firstly we have to see whether the elements on the reactants and products side are same or not.
• Then balance each element and see whether the equation  is balanced or not

When 2 moles of aluminium chloride react with 3 moles of barium hydroxide on the reactants side then on the products side it yields 2 moles of aluminium hydroxide and 3 moles of barium chloride

(i.e.)

2$AlCl_{3}$ + 3$Ba(OH)_{2}$  → 2$Al(OH)_{3}$ + 3$BaCl_{2}$

Therefore when the equation is balanced the co-efficient of aluminium chloride will be 2.
