Fe+Cl2—>FeCl3

The reaction you've written is the synthesis reaction of iron(III) chloride, where iron (Fe) reacts with chlorine gas (Cl₂) to form iron(III) chloride (FeCl₃). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is as follows:

\[ 2 \, \text{Fe} + 3 \, \text{Cl}_2 \rightarrow 2 \, \text{FeCl}_3 \]

Steps to Balance:

1. Count the atoms on each side:

   • Reactants:
     • Fe: 2
     • Cl: 6 (from 3 Cl₂)
   • Products:
     • Fe: 2 (from 2 FeCl₃)
     • Cl: 6 (from 2 FeCl₃)

2. Check the balance:

   • Both sides have 2 iron atoms and 6 chlorine atoms, so the equation is balanced as written above.

Summary:

• Reactants: Iron (Fe) and chlorine gas (Cl₂)
• Product: Iron(III) chloride (FeCl₃)
• Balanced Equation: \[ 2 \, \text{Fe} + 3 \, \text{Cl}_2 \rightarrow 2 \, \text{FeCl}_3 \]
