mass is balanced on each side, as well as electrons. Each Cu ion has to receive two electrons, and each Al atom donate three
2Al(s) + 3Cu 2+(aq) <====> 3Cu(s) + 2Al3+ (aq)
so, six electrons were donated, and six received, and the mass is the same on each side.
Answer the following questions based on the following electrochemical reaction:
Al(s) + Cu 2+(aq) <====> Cu(s) + Al3+ (aq)
Write the balanced chemical equation for this cell.
I'm confused.. how would this be balanced?
