When the equation: __al2(so4)3 + __zncl2 → __alcl3 + __znso4 is correctly balanced using the smallest whole number coefficients, the sum of the coefficients is?
The coefficients represents moles. There is 1 mole of Aluminum Sulfate, 3 moles of Zinc(II) Chloride, 2 moles of Aluminum Chloride, and 3 moles of Zinc(II) Sulfate.
Now add all the coefficients/moles.
[tex]1+3+2+3= 9[/tex] 9 is the sum of all the coefficients.
