Question

In two or more complete sentences explain how to balance the chemical equation and classify its reaction type.

Answer 1

Answer:

#1. Balanced equation: 2C₅H₅ + Fe → Fe(C₅H₅)₂

#2. Type of reaction: Synthesis reaction

Explanation:

• Balanced equations are equations that obey the law of conservation of mass.
• When an equation is balanced the number of atoms of each element is equal on both side of the equation.

• Equations are balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on the reactants and products.
• In our case, we are going to put coefficients 2, 1 and 1.

• Thus, the balanced equation will be;

2C₅H₅ + Fe → Fe(C₅H₅)₂

• This type of a reaction is known as synthesis reaction, in which two or more reactants or compounds combine to form a single compound or product.
