Answer:
an atom cannot be broken down
Aluminum has a chemical formula of Al, while diatomic bromine has a chemical formula of Br₂. The balanced chemical reaction is shown below:
<em>2 Al (s) + 3 Br₂ (l) → 2 AlBr₃ (s)</em>
The solid product is called Dibromoaluminum. The stoichiometric coefficients are used to balance the reaction to obey the Law of Conservation of Mass.
The SI unit for the amount of substance present is the mole.
The mole is defined as the amount of substance that has the same amount of particles as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. Mathematically, the moles of a substance may be computed using:
moles present = mass of substance / molecular mass of substance
