Question

Please help, I don't under stand! Balance the following oxidation-reduction reaction and indicate which atoms have undergone oxidation and reduction. ____FeCl3 + ____H2S Imported Asset ____FeCl2 + ____S + ____HCl

Answer 1

3 FeCl3 + H2S = 2 FeCl2 + S + 2 HCl

Step-by-step explanation:

Fe goes form +3 to +2

S goes from -2 to 0

H and Cl are spectator ions

Fe3+ + 1e-= Fe2+

H2S = S + 2 H+ + 2e-

3 Fe3+ + H2S = 2 Fe2+ + S + 2 H+

3 FeCl3 + H2S = 2 FeCl2 + S + 2 HCl
