Numbers at the right are the standard reduction potential of the half-reactions (E0cell)
Al^3+      +        3e^-          ->      Al.          -1.66
Br2.         +        2e^-          ->     2Br^-     1.09
 
a.
2Al(s) + 3Br2(g)(two way arrow) 2Al3+(aq) + 6Br-(aq)
b.
none of these
c.
Al(s) + 3Br2(g)(two way arrow) Al3+(s) + 2Br-(aq)
d.
2Al3+(aq) + 6Br-(aq)(two way arrow) 2Al(s) + 3Br2(g)
e.
Al(s) + 2Br-(aq)(two way arrow) Br2(g) + Al3+(aq)
