write equation for heated iron react with both chlorine gas and hydrogen chloride gas?
Answers
Answer:
An alternative system for naming compounds containing metals that form only two ions is sometimes seen, especially in older literature. The ion with the higher charge has a name ending in -ic, and the one with the lower charge has the suffix -ous. For example, Fe3+ is called the ferric ion, and Fe2+ is called the ferrous ion. The names for FeCl3 and FeCl2 are then ferric chloride and ferrous chloride, respectively.
As we said, chlorine is heavier than air, so for the experiment it can be stored in an open flask. The reaction takes place with iron heated up to 200 degrees, so the rod should be heated with the burner. Then lower the rod into the greenish gas, and observe an immediate violent reaction: the chlorine oxidizes the iron to a trivalent state. The reaction is accompanied by the release of toxic brown fumes, and crystals of iron chloride start to form in the flask:
2Fe + 3Cl₂ = 2FeCl₃
Question ;
Write equation for heated iron react with both chlorine gas and hydrogen chloride gas?
Answer:
Iron reacts with Cl₂ gas in 2 ways ;
2 Fe + 3 Cl₂ ( g ) = 2 FeCl₃
The enthalpy of reaction is negative ,
So it is exothermic reaction .
Fe + ( 3 / 2 ) Cl₂( g ) = FeCl₃
The enthalpy of recation is negative ,
So , it is exothermic reaction .
The reaction of iron and HCl produces FeCl₂ and Hydrogen gas
Fe (s) + 2 HCl ( aq ) = FeCl₂( aq ) + H₂ ( g )
This is with HCl gas .
Thus we get answer .
