Question 16
H

Aluminium powder is added to copper(II) sulfate solution, CuSO4(aq)\mathrm{CuSO_{4}(aq)}CuSO4​(aq). Aluminium sulfate solution and copper are made.

What is the balanced ionic equation for this reaction?

[1]
A

Al+Cu2+→Al3++Cu\mathrm{Al + Cu^{2+} \rightarrow Al^{3+} + Cu}Al+Cu2+→Al3++Cu

B

2Al+3Cu2+→2Al3++3Cu\mathrm{2Al + 3Cu^{2+} \rightarrow 2Al^{3+} + 3Cu}2Al+3Cu2+→2Al3++3Cu

C

3Al+2Cu2+→3Al3++2Cu\mathrm{3Al + 2Cu^{2+} \rightarrow 3Al^{3+} + 2Cu}3Al+2Cu2+→3Al3++2Cu

D

2Al+3CuSO4→Al2(SO4)3+3Cu\mathrm{2Al + 3CuSO_{4} \rightarrow Al_{2}(SO_{4})_{3} + 3Cu}2Al+3CuSO4​→Al2​(SO4​)3​+3Cu
