Question

The following equation is the correct balanced equation for the word equation:

iron(III)chloride + calcium hydroxide yields iron(III)hydroxide and calcium chloride. FeCl2 +

Ca(OH)2→ Fe(OH)2 + CaCl2

True

False
so this would be true @sweetburger

Answer 1

Do you know how to write the chemical formula of iron(III)chloride? If not I will go over it with you.

Answer 2

no i do not

Answer 3

i just need to know if it is balanced
I am pretty sure it is

Answer 4

@sweetburger

Answer 5

Yes, I understand that you just need to know if its balanced, but that is affected by this so just wait a second. iron(III)chloride represents an Fe with a 3+ charge and we know that OH has a 1- oxidization state so if we want to have a 0 oxidization state on the resulting compound there must be for every 1 Fe atom 3 OH atoms. This is not the case in the written formula above.

Answer 6

I have to go to class in about 20 minutes. I will gladly answer any further question later. Sorry :/

Answer 7

Can you just tell me if it is true or false

Answer 8

Answer 9

@jabez177

Answer 10

i think it is true

Answer 11

FeCl2 + Ca(OH)2 à Fe(OH)2 + CaCl2 is the correct balance true. All atoms on either side of the equation are equal.
