A) Fe(s)$\to$ Fe³⁺(aq)+ 3 e^- B) Fe(s)+ 3 e^- $\to$Fe³⁺(aq) C) Fe(s)+ 3/2 Cl₂(aq)$\to$FeCl₃(aq) D) Cl₂(aq)$\to$ 2 Cl^-(aq)+ 2 e^- E) Cl₂(aq)+ 2 e^- $\to$ 2 Cl^-(aq)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The oxidation half-reaction involves the loss of electrons. In the given reaction, Fe(s) loses 2 electrons to form FeS, so the balanced oxidation half-reaction is: Fe(s) -> FeS + 2e-

The Following Reaction Occurs Spontaneously →\to→ 2 Fe3+(aq)+ 6 Cl-(aq) Write the Balanced Oxidation Half-Reaction

The Following Reaction Occurs Spontaneously $\to$ 2 Fe³⁺(aq)+ 6 Cl^-(aq)
