jamierox4ev3r · Answer

Ah, decomposition. This means that we are taking this compound and breaking it down into two reactants.

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

any idea as to what those reactants are?

rebeccaxhawaii · Answer

al cl and o

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

not quite. but close!

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

Al and Cl bond together, while O just stands on its own.

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

So based from that, can you tell me what the products are?

rebeccaxhawaii · Answer

side track real quick

is this correct?

rebeccaxhawaii · Answer

Write the complete balanced equation for the reaction between aluminum metal (Al) and chlorine gas (Cl2). You do not need to make the subscripts smaller; just write them out as regular numbers. (4 points)

For example: Cl2.


MY ANSWER: 2Al+3Cl2 --> 2AlCl3

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

that is correct :)

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

Nice job!

rebeccaxhawaii · Answer

and the first one is Al(ClO3)3--> AlCl3+O2?

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

almost. 

Al(ClO3)3--> AlCl3+O3?

rebeccaxhawaii · Answer

right right got it.; thank you :)

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

ofc. And make sure you balance this
