a.1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4.

Answer 1

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical equation:

Fe + Cl₂ → FeCl₃

Balanced chemical equation:

2Fe + 3Cl₂ → 2FeCl₃

when iron react with chlorine it form iron chloride. In given reaction oxidation reduction take place.

Iron becomes Fe⁺³ while chlorine Cl⁻¹ that's why three chlorine atoms react with one iron atom to make the compound overall neutral.

Coefficient with reactant and product.

Reactant Product

Fe = 2 FeCl₃ = 2

Cl₂ = 3
