The reaction includes the single replacement reaction and redox

Further explanation

Single replacement : one element replaces another element in a compound

A + BC ⇒ AC + B

The oxidation-reduction reaction or abbreviated as Redox is a chemical reaction in which there is a change in oxidation number

3CuCl + 2Al => 3Cu + 2AlCl₃

  • 1. Single replacement

Al replacing Cu in the CuCl compound

  • 2. Redox reaction

3Cu²⁺ + 6e⁻⇒ 3Cu reduction(oxidation number from +2 to 0)

2Al⇒2Al³⁺+6e⁻ oxidation(oxidation number from 0 to +3)
