Question
Balance the following equation:$$\mathrm{Fe}+\mathrm{Cl}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{FeCl}_3$$
Step 1
On the left side, we have 1 Fe atom and 2 Cl atoms. On the right side, we have 1 Fe atom and 3 Cl atoms. To balance the equation, we need to make sure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides. Show more…

Balance this chemical equation and assign it a reaction type: $\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{3}(a q)+\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{~S}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{3}(s)+\mathrm{NaNO}_{3}(a q$
Balance these equations. (a) $\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{FeCl}_{3}(\mathrm{~s})$ (b) $\mathrm{SiO}_{2}(\mathrm{~s})+\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{s}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Si}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})$ (c) $\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}(\mathrm{~s})+\mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})$
