When the equation is correctly balanced, the coefficient of aluminum chloride will be ___.
AlCl3 (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) → Al(OH)3 (s) + BaCl2 (aq)

Respuesta :

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:

[tex]AlCl_{3}[/tex] + [tex]Ba(OH)_{2}[/tex]  → [tex]Al(OH)_{3}[/tex] + [tex]BaCl_{2}[/tex]

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[tex]AlCl_{3}[/tex] + 3[tex]Ba(OH)_{2}[/tex]  → 2[tex]Al(OH)_{3}[/tex] + 3[tex]BaCl_{2}[/tex]

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