RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Al2(SO4)3 + 3BaCl2 → 2AlCl3 + 3BaSO4

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Al2(SO4)3 + 3BaCl2 → 2AlCl3 + 3BaSO4.

The correct balanced equation for the reaction:

Al2(SO4)3 + BaCl2 → AlCl3 + BaSO4

is:

Al2(SO4)3 + 3BaCl2 → 2AlCl3 + 3BaSO4

Explanation:

  • Aluminum (Al): There are 2 aluminum atoms on the left side (from Al2(SO4)3​), so we need 2​ AlClon the right side to balance the aluminum.

  • Sulfate (SO₄²⁻): There are 3 sulfate ions on the left (from Al2(SO4)3​), so we need 3 BaSOmolecules on the right.

  • Barium (Ba): On the right side, there are 3 barium ions from 3BaSO4​, so we need 3 BaCl2 on the left side.

  • Chlorine (Cl): 3 BaCl2molecules on the left give us 6 chlorine atoms, which balance with the 6 chlorine atoms in 2 AlCl3   molecules on the right.
