Question

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of aqueous potassium hydroxide with aqueous iron(III) chloride to form solid iron(III) hydroxide and aqueous potassium chloride. Express your answer as a chemical equation including phases. nothing A chemical reaction does not occur for this question.

Answer 1

3KOH(aq) + FeCl3(aq) --------> Fe(OH)3 + 3KCl

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for balancing chemical equations is that the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of the reaction equation.

Hence, the two reactants are potassium hydroxide and aqueous iron(III) chloride.

The balanced molecular reaction equation is;

3KOH(aq) + FeCl3(aq) --------> Fe(OH)3 + 3KCl
