Question

How to balance eqn Fe2+ +Cl2-> Fe3+ Cl-?

Answer 1

its not possible . just check it out .  

Answer 2

Fe2+ Cl2 -> Fe3+ Cl

3Fe2 + Cl2 -> 2Fe3+ 2 Cl

The reactants should always be equal to products is the law.

Answer 3

Just balance the valence charges on both sides of the equation, making sure that you have the number of atoms conserved.

2Fe2+ + Cl2-> 2Fe3+ 2Cl-

Answer 4

2Fe2+ + Cl2 → 2Fe3+ + 2Cl-

Each iron atom can donate one electron, and each chlorine atom can pick up one. But since you have 2 chlorines on the left, you need 2 of everything.

Answer 5

3Fe2+ + Cl-  --> 2Fe3+ +Cl-.

Chlorine ion can only present as (Cl-). In the above reaction the ion (Cl-) oxidation number is not changing. The Ferum II (Fe2+) is oxidised to Ferum III (Fe3+).

Answer 6

3Fe2+  +  Cl2  ->  Fe3  +  Cl-
