When the oxidation-reduction reaction shown here is balanced using the smallest whole-number coefficients,how many electrons are transferred? Al(s)+ Cl₂(g)$\to$Al₂Cl₆(s)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the balanced reaction, 2 Al atoms lose 6 electrons (3 each) to form Al^3+ ions, and 3 Cl_2 molecules gain those 6 electrons to form 6 Cl^- ions, resulting in Al_2Cl_6. Thus, 6 electrons are transferred.
