Answer

Note: Steps used for finding balanced chemical equation

  • Count each type of atom in reactants and products.
  • Place coefficients as needed, in front of the symbol or formula to increase the number of atoms or molecules of substances.
  • Repeat steps 1 and step 2 until the equation is balanced.

So the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is given by:

2Fe(s)+3Cl2(g)Heat2FeCl3(s)IronChlorineFerricChloride
