Answer:
C. 2Fe + 3Cl2 + 2FeCl3
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given chemical reaction:
Fe + Cl2 → FeCl3
It turns out possible to balance it via cross-multiplying the chlorine atoms as they do not result from a whole number multiplication; it means we get:
Fe + 3Cl2 → 2FeCl3
And we just balance Fe by placing a 2 on Fe:
2Fe + 3Cl2 → 2FeCl3
Thus, the answer is C. 2Fe + 3Cl2 + 2FeCl3
Regards!
