Aluminum metal reacts with aqueous copper(II) sulfate to form aqueous aluminum sulfate and solid copper according to the following equation:
2Al+3CuSO4→Al2(SO4)3+3Cu 2\text{Al} + 3\text{CuSO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 + 3\text{Cu} 2Al+3CuSO4→Al2(SO4)3+3CuWhat is the balanced ionic equation for this reaction?
Al+Cu2+→Al3++Cu\text{Al} + \text{Cu}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Al}^{3+} + \text{Cu}Al+Cu2+→Al3++Cu
2Al+3Cu2+→2Al3++3Cu2\text{Al} + 3\text{Cu}^{2+} \rightarrow 2\text{Al}^{3+} + 3\text{Cu}2Al+3Cu2+→2Al3++3Cu
3Al+2Cu2+→3Al3++2Cu3\text{Al} + 2\text{Cu}^{2+} \rightarrow 3\text{Al}^{3+} + 2\text{Cu}3Al+2Cu2+→3Al3++2Cu
2Al+3Cu2+→2Al2++3Cu2\text{Al} + 3\text{Cu}^{2+} \rightarrow 2\text{Al}^{2+} + 3\text{Cu}2Al+3Cu2+→2Al2++3Cu
