write a skeleton equation for
aluminum(s)+iodine(s) ->aluminum iodide(s)
Al + I2 ==> AlI3
Is that what you want? Probably no reaction since all are solids.At least not a fast reaction.
To write a skeleton equation, we need to represent the chemical formulas of the substances involved. Here's the skeleton equation for the reaction you mentioned:
Aluminum (s) + Iodine (s) -> Aluminum Iodide (s)
To write the skeleton equation for the reaction between aluminum and iodine, we need to understand the chemical symbols and valences of the elements involved.
1. Start by writing the reactants on the left side of the arrow:
Aluminum (Al) and iodine (I₂).
2. Next, write the product on the right side of the arrow:
Aluminum iodide (AlI₃).
3. Now, balance the equation by ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides.
The balanced equation is:
2Al(s) + 3I₂(s) → 2AlI₃(s)
In step 3, to balance the equation, we use the subscripts and coefficients to ensure that both sides have the same number of atoms for each element.
Write skeleton equations for these reactions.
a. sodium carbonate(s) -;
sodium oxide(s) + carbon dioxide(g)
b. aluminum(s) + iodine(s) -> aluminum iodide(s)
c. iron(II) oxide(s) + oxygen (g) -› iron(III) oxide(s)
