Answer:
2 Al(s) + 3 CuSO₄(aq) ⇒ 3 Cu(s) + Al₂(SO₄)₃(aq)
Explanation:
Let's consider the single displacement reaction of Al(s) with CuSO₄(aq). Copper has a higher reduction potential than aluminum, so aluminum will take the place of copper to form aluminum sulfate and metallic copper. The corresponding balanced chemical equation is:
2 Al(s) + 3 CuSO₄(aq) ⇒ 3 Cu(s) + Al₂(SO₄)₃(aq)
