The information below describes a redox reaction.
Ag+ (aq) + Al(s) — Ag(s) + Al3+ (aq)
Ag+ (aq) + -> Ag(s)
Al(s)->A3+ (aq) + 3e-
What is the coefficient of silver in the final, balanced equation for this reaction?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Al°(s)  + 3Ag⁺(aq) => Al⁺³(aq) + 3Ag(s)

Explanation:

Oxidation:                            Al°(s) =>   Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻

Reduction:           3Ag⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ => 3Ag°(s)

_________________________________________

Net Rxn:           Al°(s)  + 3Ag⁺(aq) => Al⁺³(aq) + 3Ag(s)

One mole of neutral aluminum atoms (Al°(s)) undergo oxidation delivering 3 moles  of electrons to 3 moles silver ions (3Ag⁺³(aq)) that are reduced to 3 moles of neutral silver atoms (3Ag°(s)) in basic standard state 25°C; 1atm.
