As aluminum foil decomposes in Copper chloride, what is happening to the molecules?

Answer:

ok i dont think the foil would be a good idea
COGIO, NO FOIL FOR THIS PURPOSE WILL NOT WORK.
electrons leave Aluminum atoms and it becomes positive Al 3+ Copper ions accept the Al electrons and so netrons from the Cu combine with the Al to form solid copper precipitateSo you end up with Al ions and Cl ions in solution.
