In two or more complete sentences explain how to balance the chemical equation and classify its reaction type.
(s) + (aq) ⟶
i got that it's a single replacement but i'm having trouble balancing it. pls omg

chemical equation: al(s) + cuso₄(aq) → cu(s) + al₂(so₄)₃(aq).

oxidation reaction: al° → al⁺³ + 3e⁻ /×2.

reduction reaction: cu⁺² + 2e⁻ → cu⁰ /×3.

oxidation reaction: 2al° → 2al⁺³ + 6e⁻.

reduction reaction: 3cu⁺² + 6e⁻ → 3cu⁰.

chemical equation: 2al(s) + 3cuso₄(aq) → 3cu(s) + al₂(so₄)₃(aq).

in this single replacement reaction, aluminium change oxidation number from 0 to +3 (oxidation) and copper change oxidation number from +2 to 0 (reduction).

- aluminum and copper chloride.

- the chloride ion to separate the aluminum from the oxygen so that the aluminum can react with the copper ions (and the water molecules).
