Question:

Write the chemical formula, balanced equation, and state the type of reaction for aluminum iodide reacting with oxygen to form aluminum oxide and iodine.

The reaction of Aluminum Iodide with Oxygen:

Chemical reaction types can be divided into six major categories: decomposition, synthesis, single displacement, double displacement, acid-base and combustion reactions. To balance any of the reactions we need to put some coefficients to reactants and the products of the reactions to make the number of all atoms at both sides equal.
