Help with balancing a Chemical Equation.  Will post it below.

anonymous · Answer

$$Fe _{2}(SO _{4})_{3} + KOH \rightarrow K _{2}SO _{4} + Fe(OH)_{3} $$
If possible please show how you obtained it.  I can't get it to balance out for my life.

Are you sure it's the correct equation? Iron is usually a +2 state not +3.

anonymous · Answer

nevermind i'l post the answer in a sec. I couldn't read the 3 on the iron hydroxide.

anonymous · Answer

Ok start with sulfur. You'll multiply the potassium sulfate by 3 to match the sulfurs on both sides. Then multiply your potassium hydroxide by 6 to match potassiums the multiply your iron hydroxide on the right by 2 and it's balanced. Hydrogen and oxygen should always be balanced last.
