)Iron metal and Chlorine gas react to form solid iron(III) chloride.
These are word equations. You are to turn them into symbolic equations. You are not asked to predict the products; those are given to you. Here is how you do the first one.
Fe + Cl2 ==> FeCl3
Now balance it.
2Fe + 3Cl2 ==> 2FeCl3
Dr. Bob is right! The
How do we get Cl2? if the word equation is iron + chlorine = Iron (iii) chloride. The valency of Chlorine is 2.
