Predict and balance the equation WITH THE STATES: FeSO4 (aq) +KCl (aq) = ?. Then give the complete ionic equation along with the net ionic equation. Then give the spectator ions.

Answer 1

FeSO4(aq) + KCl(aq)

You need to know about single replacement, double replacement, synthesis, decomposition and combustion reactions. If you know those, you'll know this is a double replacement reaction.

You also must know your solubility rules. If you know them, you'll know that all the species in this reaction are soluble, i.e. FeSO4, KCl, K2SO4 and FeCl2. Therefore all the ions are spectators, and there is no reaction.

Answer 2

Hello, Brooklyn,

Which part of the question are you having difficulty with? If you can balance the equation, please enter what you found. If you are having problems with predicting the reactants, please point that out.

There is too much to be able explain the entire problem, so it helps if you specify what aspect you'd like help on.

The balanced equation is:

1FeSO₄ + 2KCl = 1K₂SO₄ + 1 FeCl₂

Let me know if you need help on something else.

I hope this answers your question,

Bob
