Question

Write the balanced equation for the half reaction for the single replacement
reaction involving iron. This equation considers only the iron cations and the
elemental iron, and it shows how the iron cation (Fe3+) is reduced to become
elemental iron (Fe). How many electrons are represented in this equation? How
does this number of electrons help show a balance of charge on both sides of the
equation? (3 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The half reaction required

Fe⁺³ + 3 e = Fe

This is a balanced equation

No of atom of Fe on both side = 1

Total charge on the left side = + 3 - 3 = 0

Total charge on the right = 0

three electrons will be required to neutralise +3 charge on the single iron ion .
