Respuesta :
The answer is c. AlCl3 + 3Cs -> Al + 3CsCl. First you already know this reaction is a single replacement reaction. And next, the Al ion is usually +3, Cs ion is usually +1.
Answer is C.
Explanation;
Single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction between an element and a compound. The element takes the position of another element in the compound by replacing.
Common equation is
A + BC → AC + B
Al is in 13th group of the periodic table. Hence, Al forms Al³⁺ by losing 3 electrons. Likewise, Cl is in 17th group of the periodic table and forms Cl⁻ by gaining one electron. Hence aluminium chloride can be written as AlCl₃.
Cs is in 1st group of the periodic table. Hence, Cs tends to form Cs⁺ by losing an electron.
The reaction between Cs⁺ and Cl⁻ will form CsCl.
Since, this is a single replacement reaction, Al in the AlCl₃ is replaced by Cs and CsCl is formed. The balanced reaction equation is
AlCl₃ + 3Cs → 3CsCl + Al
