Aluminum metal reacts with iron(ii) sulfide to form aluminum sulfide and iron metal. what is the stoichiometric coefficient for aluminum when the chemical equation is balanced using the lowest, whole-number stoichiometric coefficients?

coefficient for aluminum is 2.

Explanation:

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 skeletal equation is:

The balanced equation for single displacement reaction is:

Thus the coefficient for aluminum when the chemical equation is balanced is 2.

answer: mercury

explanation:

i think it's c. i'm not sure but i think so.
