Answer: [tex]2Al+3CuSO_4\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3+3Cu[/tex]
Explanation:
A single replacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus one element should be different from another element.
A general single displacement reaction can be represented as :
[tex]A+BC\rightarrow AC+B[/tex]
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The balanced equation for the reaction of aluminum with copper(II) sulfate solution is:
[tex]2Al+3CuSO_4\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3+3Cu[/tex]
