Question
Explain the following reaction with the balanced equation.
Reaction of aluminium with oxygen
Advertisements
Solution
Aluminium combines with oxygen to form aluminium oxide.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Aluminium}}{4Al_{(s)}} + \underset{\text{Oxygen}}{3O_{2(g)}} -> \underset{\text{Aluminium oxide}}{2Al2O_{3(s)}}}\]
