Zinc reacts with iron (iii) chloride yielding zinc chloride plus iron

Chemistry
1 answer:
olasank [31]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

I don't see a specific question, so I'll make a few comments and hope that answers the reason for the post.

Explanation:

Zinc(Zn) does react with iron chloride, since zinc is a more reactive metal than the iron.

When Zn is introduced to an iron (III) chloride solution, the Zn disoplaces the Fe atom in a displacement reaction.

The chemical equation of the reaction:

Zn + Fe(III)Cl3 → ZnCl3 + Fe

Energy is often realeased in this type of reaction, since the resulting chemical products have a lower energy that the reactants.

There are several metals more reactive than iron.  One of the more interesting examples of a highly exothermic reaction with iron chloride (rust) is the reaction of aluminum with iron chloride.  `This is highly exothermic and is labelled a thermite reaction.  It provides a spectacular flame that is not enough to weld railroad tracks together.

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

Single displacement reactions: In these reactions, a more reactive element kicks out a less reactive element from a compound.

Ex.  Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

In this example, Zn is more reactive than H, then Zn displaces H from the compound.

Double displacement reactions: In these kind of reactions 2 elements are displaced from the different compounds, these elements interchange positions.

Ex. CuCl2(aq) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2 AgCl(s)

In the example, Cu displaces Ag and Ag displaces Cu, they interchange positions.

What is the speed of a horse in meters per second that runs a distance of 1.2 miles in 2.4 minutes? (Hint: 1 mile = 1609 m)
dezoksy [38]
Time t=2.4 minutes=2.4×60=144 seconds
distance s=1.2 miles=1.2×1609=1930.8 meters
speed v=s/t=1930.8÷144=[tex] \frac{1930.8}{144} = \frac{160.9}{12} =[/13.408m/s ~nearly]

A word equation is a written description of a chemical reaction.
All word equations start with the reactants.
Then, what comes next is the word "react to form."
Finally, the products of the equation are mentioned.
An example is,
Zinc and Hypochondriac acid react to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride.
