The correct answer is D. Using the law of conservation of mass the number of atoms on each side of the equation should be equal. Through introspection, we find that there are 2Cl atoms on reactant side as opposed 3Cl atoms on product side. If we add a coefficient of 3 on Cl_2 we get

Fe + 3Cl_2 ==> FeCl_3.

Now there are 6Cl atoms on reactant side and 2 on product side, hence we add a coefficient of 2 on both FeCl_3 and Fe. The balanced chemical equation is,

2Fe + 3Cl_2 ==> 2FeCl_3

riadik2000 [5.3K]
 the oxidation states of the elements before and after the reaction is;
Pb oxidation state changes from 0 to +2
SO₄²⁻ ion there's no change in the oxidation state during the reaction
Au oxidation state changes from +3 to 0
reduction reactions are when there's a decrease in the oxidation state of the species 
oxidation reactions are when theres an increase in the oxidation state of the species 
the element where there's a decrease in oxidation state is Au. 
Therefore Au gets reduced.
