Question

Al(s) + NiSO4(aq)
Balance

Answer 1

`2Al(s) + 3NiSO4 --> Al2(SO4)3 + 3Ni`

Step-by-step explanation:

This reaction type is a single replacement. The format of a single replacement is:

`A+BC --> B+AC`

A= Al

B= Ni

C= SO

The coefficient 3 for Ni would become a subscript for AC. After you plug those into the reaction you need to count how many of each are on the left side and try to get the same number on the right side. Both sides must be equal to have a balanced equation.
