Question

What is one of the products produced when CaCl2 and Fe(NO3)3 react together?

Ca(NO3)3

FeCl2

CaNO3

FeCl3

Answer 1

The answer is FeCI3. I took this on the exam and got it right. :)

Answer 2

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction between
`CaCl_(2)` and
`Fe(NO_(3))_(3)` is as follows.

`CaCl_(2) + Fe(NO_(3))_(3) \rightarrow Ca(NO_(3))_(2) + FeCl_(3)`

Number of reactants are as follows.

• Ca = 1
• Cl = 2
• Fe = 1
• 
  `NO_(3)` = 6

Number of products are as follows.

• Ca = 1
• Cl = 3
• Fe = 1
• 
  `NO_(3)` = 2

To balance the equation, on the reactant side multiply
`CaCl_(2)` by 3 and
`Fe(NO_(3))_(3)` by 2. On the product side multiply
`Ca(NO_(3))_(2)` by 3 and
`FeCl_(3)` by 2.

Therefore, the balanced chemical equation will be as follows.

`3CaCl_(2) + 2Fe(NO_(3))_(3) \rightarrow 3Ca(NO_(3))_(2) + 2FeCl_(3)`

Thus, out of the given options,
`FeCl_(3)` is one of the products produced when
`CaCl_(2)` and
`Fe(NO_(3))_(3)` react together.
