Answer:
2Al(s) +3Ni²⁺(aq) ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 3Ni(s)
Explanation:
The unbalanced equation is
Al(s) + Ni²⁺(aq) ⟶ Ni(s) + Al³⁺(aq)
(i) Half-reactions
Al(s) ⟶ Al³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻
Ni²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni(s)
(ii) Balance charges
2 × [Al(s) ⟶ Al³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻]
3 × [Ni²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni(s)]
gives
2Al(s) ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 6e⁻
3Ni²⁺(aq) + 6e⁻ ⟶ 3Ni(s)
(iii) Add equations
2Al(s) ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 6e⁻
<u>3Ni²⁺(aq) + 6e⁻ ⟶ 3Ni(s) </u>
2Al(s) +3Ni²⁺(aq) + <em>6e</em>⁻ ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 3Ni(s) + <em>6e⁻
</em>
Simplify (cancel electrons)
2Al(s) +3Ni²⁺(aq) ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 3Ni(s)
<span>Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.</span>
