Answer:
Balanced Chemical equation:
3Mg(s) + 2FeCl₃(s) → 2Fe(s) + 3MgCl₂(s)
Step-by-step explanation:
Chemical equation:
Mg(s) + FeCl₃(s) → Fe(s) + MgCl₂(s)
Balanced Chemical equation:
3Mg(s) + 2FeCl₃(s) → 2Fe(s) + 3MgCl₂(s)
Solid magnesium react with solid iron(III) chloride and produce solid iron and magnesium chloride.
The oxidation state of iron changed from +3 to zero and that of magnesium is from zero to +2.
Coefficient with reactant and product:
Mg(s) 3
FeCl₃(s) 2
Fe(s) 2
MgCl₂ 3
