oxide produces solid aluminum oxide and liquid iron metal


Sagot :

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Start with the equation unbalanced: (s)=solid and (l)=liquid

Al(s) + Fe₂O₃(s) ----> Al₂O₃(s) + Fe(l)

Now balance the equation:

2Al(s) + Fe₂O₃(s) --->  Al₂O₃(s) + 2Fe(l)

Make sure you have the same number of atoms on each side

Al = 2

Fe = 2

O  =  3
