What is A1 plus CuCl2?

A1, which is likely a typographical error for Al (aluminum), when combined with CuCl2 (copper(II) chloride), undergoes a single displacement reaction. Aluminum displaces copper from copper(II) chloride, forming aluminum chloride (AlCl3) and elemental copper (Cu) as products. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 3CuCl2 + 2Al → 3Cu + 2AlCl3. This reaction illustrates aluminum's higher reactivity compared to copper.
