Write a Balanced Net Ionic Equation for the Overall Reaction

Multiple Choice

Write a balanced net ionic equation for the overall reaction represented by the following cell notation. Al(s) | Al³⁺(aq) || Cl₂(g) | Cl-(aq) | Pt(s)

A) 2 Al(s) + 3 Cl₂(g) → 2 Al³⁺(aq) + 6 Cl^-(aq)
B) Al(s) + Al³⁺(aq) → Cl^-(aq) + Cl₂(g)
C) 2 Al³⁺(aq) + 6 Cl^-(aq) → 2 Al(s) + 3 Cl₂(g)
D) Al(s) + 3 Cl₂(g) → Al³⁺(s) + 2 Cl^-(aq)
E) Al(s) + 2 Cl^-(aq) → Cl₂(g) + Al³⁺(aq)
