balance Al+CuSO2=Al2(SO4)3+Cu

It wont balance unless you have copper sulfate CuSO4 on the left.

my bad i ment to put 4

do you know the answer

what are three ways an object can get a charge?

Charging by F______________
Charging by C______________
CHarging by I______________

Hi. In my class I'm learning about earthquakes, how they're caused, the types of stress they produce, and the equipment that geologists use to predict an earthquake. But I need help studying for my tests. Can you help me?

What is the Dissolving Point for the element Rubidium?

To balance the chemical equation Al + CuSO2 = Al2(SO4)3 + Cu, we need to ensure that there are an equal number of atoms for each element on both sides of the equation.

Here's how you can balance this equation step by step:

1. Start by counting the number of atoms for each element on both sides of the equation.

On the left side (reactants):
- Aluminum (Al): 1 atom
- Copper (Cu): 1 atom
- Sulfur (S): 1 atom
- Oxygen (O): 2 atoms

On the right side (products):
- Aluminum (Al): 2 atoms
- Sulfur (S): 3 atoms
- Oxygen (O): 12 atoms
- Copper (Cu): 1 atom

2. Determine which elements are unbalanced. In this case, the number of aluminum atoms and sulfur atoms are unbalanced.

3. Start balancing the elements that have the largest number of atoms first. In this case, we'll start with sulfur.

4. To balance the sulfur atoms, we can place a coefficient of 3 in front of CuSO2. This will give us 3 sulfur atoms on both sides.

Al + 3CuSO2 = Al2(SO4)3 + Cu

Now the number of sulfur atoms is balanced.

5. Next, balance the aluminum atoms. We currently have 1 aluminum atom on the left and 2 aluminum atoms on the right. To balance this, we place a coefficient of 2 in front of Al.

2Al + 3CuSO2 = Al2(SO4)3 + Cu

Now both the sulfur and aluminum atoms are balanced.

6. Finally, check if the oxygen atoms are balanced. On the left side, we have 6 oxygen atoms (3 from CuSO2 and 3 from Al2(SO4)3), and on the right side, we have 12 oxygen atoms (12 from Al2(SO4)3). The oxygen atoms are already balanced.

7. The final balanced equation is:

2Al + 3CuSO2 = Al2(SO4)3 + Cu

So, you would need 2 moles of aluminum, 3 moles of copper(II) sulfate, and it will yield 1 mole of aluminum sulfate and 1 mole of copper.
