$A l + C l_{2} \to A l C l_{3}$ .

Open in App

Solution

The given reaction is as follow:
$A l + C l_{2} \to A l C l_{3}$
There are 3 chlorine on product side and only 2 chlorine on reactant side. Thus multiply chloriine on reactant side by 3 and chlorine on product side by 2 to make them equal.
$A l + 3 C l_{2} \to 2 A l C l_{3}$
Now, there are two $A l$ atom on product side but only one $A l$ atom on reactant side. Thus, muliply $A l$ by 2 on reactant side.
$2 A l + 3 C l_{2} \to 2 A l C l_{3}$
Balanced reaction: $2 A l + 3 C l_{2} \to 2 A l C l_{3}$
