Question

Fluorine gas reacts with aqueous iron (II) iodine to produce iron (II) fluoride and iodine liquid What is the balanced chemical equation for this reaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

F₂ (g) + FeI₂ (aq) →  FeF₂ (aq) +  I₂ (l)

Explanation:

Our reactants are:

F₂ → Fluorine gas, a dyatomic molecule

FeI₂ → Iron (II) iodine

Our products are:

I₂ → Iodine

FeF₂ → Iron (II) fluoride

Then, the reaction is:

F₂ (g) + FeI₂ (aq) →  FeF₂ (aq) +  I₂ (l)

We see it is completely balanced.
