Question

Aqueous iron(iii) chloride reacts with solid magnesium to form aqueous magnesium chloride and solid iron . write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. include physical states.

Answer 1

2FeCl3 (aq) + 3Mg (s) → 3MgCl2 (aq) +2Fe (s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reactants:

1. Iron chloride

2. Magnesium

Product:

1. Magnesium chloride

2. Iron

When an aqueous iron chloride react with solid magnesium two products are formed:

1. Magnesium chloride (MgCl2)

2. Iron (Fe)

The Magnesium chloride is in aqueous form while iron is produced in solid form. This reaction require 300-400 °C.

Chemical equation

FeCl3 + Mg → MgCl2 + Fe

Balanced chemical e

quation with physical states

2FeCl3 (aq) + 3Mg (s) → 3MgCl2 (aq) +2Fe (s)
