Predict the products and then balance the equation Aluminum chloride decomposes when heated

Liquid aluminum chloride will decompose if an electrical current is passed through it. The reaction is 2AlCl3 → 2Al + 3Cl2.

Explanation:

When one reactant breaks down to form two or more products is known as a decomposition reaction. The general equation is represented as follows:

AB → A + B.

In this equation, the reactant is AB which begins the reaction and the products of the reaction A and B are formed.

When an electrical current is passed through it, the decomposition of ammonium chloride takes place. The balanced decomposition reaction is written as 2AlCl3 → 2Al + 3Cl2. Here Chlorine is released in this reaction as a gas.
