Question

Ionic equation of 2fecl2 and cl2

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer..

Explanation:

2FeCl2+Cl2=2Fecl3

Answer 2

The chemical equation for the reaction taking place is as follows:

2FeCl2 + Cl2 -----------> 2FeCl3

So, The oxidation state of Fe is changing from +2 in FeCl2 to +3 in FeCl3.

The oxidation state of Chlorine is changing from 0 in Cl2 to -1 in FeCl3.

2Fe+2  ---------> 2Fe+3  + 2e-

Cl2 + 2e- --------> 2Cl-1

Thus, Fe is being oxidized as its positive oxidation state increases while Chlorine is being reduced as its oxidation state becomes -2 from 0.
