Homework Statement


Match the type of equation to the following.
2Al(s) + 6Br−(aq) + 6H+(aq) → 2Al3+(aq) + 6Br−(aq) + 3H2(g)
2Al(s) + 6HBr(aq) → 2Al3+(aq) + 6Br−(aq) + 3H2(g)
2Al(s) + 6HBr(aq) → 2AlBr3(aq) + 3H2(g)
2Al(s) + 6H+(aq) → 2Al3+(aq) + 3H2(g)

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


The first one is obviously ionic since all the aqueous solutions are split up into their ions
The second one is the one confusing, since The aqueous product is split into it's ions, but HBr isn't. I have no idea what it is.
The third one is a molecular equation
the fourth one looks to be a net ionic equation.
