You should NEVER need to ask if an equation is balanced. You check it.
1. Atoms must balance.
2. Electrons, if a redox equation must balance.
3. The charge on both sides should balance.
Fe2II(So4)3 + 12 KSCN = 2 K3Fe(SCN)6 + 3 K2So4
I see 2 Fe on each side
I see 3 SO4^2- on both sides.
I see 12 on left and right.
I see 12 SCN^- on both sides.
I see zero charge on left and right.
This is not a redox equation.
Everything looks OK to me. Good job. The nice thing about balancing equations is that you ALWAYS know if you are right or not.
balance the following chemical equation
Fe2(So4)3 + KSCN = K3Fe(SCN)6 + K2So4
my answer:
Fe2(So4)3 + 12 KSCN = 2 K3Fe(SCN)6 + 3 K2So4
is my answer correct?
