A student combined AlCl3 (aq) and Ca (s). The student observed a color change, thus a reaction occurred. Write the balanced molecular equation for this reaction showing coefficients and phase labels. Write the complete ionic equation for this reaction. Write the net ionic equation for this reaction. Assign oxidation numbers to the reactants and products in the net ionic equation. Which reactant, AlCl3 (aq) or Ca (s), got oxidized? Which reactant, AlCl3 (aq) or Ca (s), got reduced?   Which reactant, AlCl3 (aq) or Ca (s), is the oxidizing agent? Which reactant, AlCl3 (aq) or  Ca (s), is the reducing agent?
