Questions: ∫ Al2+1 Al2

Transcript text: $\int \mathrm{Al}_{2}+1 \mathrm{Al}_{2}$

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the given chemical equation

The given chemical equation is:

Al + O₂ → Al₂O₃

This represents the reaction between aluminum (Al) and oxygen (O₂) to form aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). Currently, the equation is unbalanced.

Step 2: Balance the Aluminum atoms

There is one Al atom on the left side and two Al atoms on the right side. We can balance the Al atoms by placing a coefficient of 2 in front of Al on the left side:

2Al + O₂ → Al₂O₃

Step 3: Balance the Oxygen atoms

There are two O atoms on the left side and three O atoms on the right side. The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. To get 6 oxygen atoms on both sides, we can place a coefficient of 3 in front of O₂ and a coefficient of 2 in front of Al₂O₃:

2Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

Step 4: Verify the balance

Now, we have 4 Al atoms and 6 O atoms on both sides of the equation. The equation is balanced.
