What will be (i), (ii) and (iii) if the following reaction is balanced?
i)FeCl3+(ii)MgO→Fe2O3+(iii)MgCl2
(i) = 2, (ii) = 3, (iii) = 3
First we balance Fe. We add 2 as the coefficient to FeCl3. Next, to balance Cl, we add 3 to MgCl2. Finally, to balance Mg, we add 3 as the coefficient to MgO. So, the balanced equation is:
2FeCl3+3MgO→Fe2O3+3MgCl2
