Explain why metals conduct electricity in their solid forms, but ionic compounds do not.

Scientist wants to react a barium chloride salt with an acid. to speed up the reaction, the scientist crushes the barium chloride salt until it is a fine powder. this speeds up the reaction by a. increasing the ph of the salt. b. increasing the surface area of the salt. c. increasing the pressure of the salt. d. increasing the temperature of the salt. im thinking more a not 100% sure

The balanced chemical equation for this lab is: 3cucl2(aq) + 2al(s) 3cu(s) + 2alcl3(aq) if 10.5 g copper chloride react with 12.4 g aluminum, what is the limiting reactant?
