Question 1 • Chemistry

Which products are formed when aluminum is added to a silver chloride solution? Use the activity series if needed. Al is greater than Mn comma Mn is greater than Zn comma Zn is greater than Cr comma Cr is greater than Fe comma Fe is greater than Cd comma Cd is greater than Co comma Co is greater than Ni comma Ni is greater than Sn comma Sn is greater than Pb comma Pb is greater than cap h comma cap h is greater than Sb comma Sb is greater than Bi comma Bi is greater than Cu comma Cu is greater than Ag comma Ag is greater than Pd comma Pd is greater than Hg comma Hg is greater than Pt

Answer
A
only AlCl sub 3
B
none
C
AlAg sub 3 and Cl sub 2
D
AlCl sub 3 and Ag

Explanation

Aluminum is above silver in the activity series, so aluminum is more reactive and displaces silver from silver chloride. The products are aluminum chloride and silver metal: 2Al + 6AgCl → 2AlCl₃ + 6Ag. Therefore, the correct choice is AlCl₃ and Ag.
