Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The AI generated answer is incorrect this update is very bad... The total charge of the reactants for option D is +9 because Al is by itself, meaning it has a charge of 0. (The AI said the total charge of the reactants was +10 which is wrong)

Answer: D

Explanation:

3Fe^3+ + Al ---> 3Fe^2+ + Al^3+

Total charge of reactants = 3 x +3 = +9

Total charge of products = (3 x +2) + (+3) = +9
