Hope this helped :)))

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

AlCl₃

General Formulas and Concepts:

• Elemental Charges
• Reading a Periodic Table

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Al³⁺ and Cl¹⁻

Step 2: RxN

Al³⁺ (s) + Cl¹⁻ (g) → AlCl₃

• Need to have the same amount of charge (should add to 0)
• We need 3 Cl's to balance the positive 3+ charge
• 3(-1) for Cl + 1(3+) for Al = 0
