Question

Predict the products!

Answer 1

Answer:

• There are two product produced by the reactants

1.  FeI₃  

2. Ag₂CO₃

• Balance Equation

6AgI + Fe₂ (CO₃)₃ ---------> 2FeI₃ +  3Ag₂CO₃

• Type of Reaction

Double Displacement

Explanation:

Incomplete Equation of the reaction is

                                  AgI + Fe₂ (CO₃)₃ --------->

• Predict the Product :

First we have to complete the reaction.

                          AgI + Fe₂ (CO₃)₃ ---------> FeI₃ +  Ag₂CO₃

so from the Reaction

we come to Know about the product

There are two product produced by the reactants

1.  FeI₃  

Named as Iron iodide also called Iron (III) iodide

2. Ag₂CO₃

Named as Silver carbonate

• Balanced the Equation:

Balanced equation is based on Law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

"mass can be converted from one form to other but neither can be created nor destroy".

So

To balance a reaction it is important that the number of reactant atoms must equal to atoms of the product.

Atoms of Reactant :

Ag = 1

I = 1

Fe = 2

C = 3

O = 9

Atoms of Product:

Ag = 2

I = 3

Fe = 1

C = 1

O = 3

So,

To balance the equation put numbers as a prefix to formula unit in equation that make atom of the reactant and product become s equal.

its a trail and error process.

Balanced Equation :

                       6AgI + Fe₂ (CO₃)₃ ---------> 2FeI₃ +  3Ag₂CO₃

Now the numbers of Reactant and product become equal

Atoms of Reactant :

Ag = 6

I = 6

Fe = 2

C = 3

O = 9

Atoms of Product:

Ag = 6

I = 6

Fe = 2

C = 3

O = 9

• Type of Reaction

1. This reaction is double displacement.  It is also called double replacement reaction.
2. it occur when ions of two salts exchange with each other.
3. In this reaction Iodide (I¹⁺) ion with exchange carbonate (CO²⁺₃) ion
4. and Silver (Ag¹⁺) ion with exchange iron (Fe³⁺) ion
