Question

Solid Magnesium reacts with a Iron (II) Chloride solution ->

Answer 1

Answer:

Magnesium + iron chloride   →    iron + magnesium chloride

Explanation:

It is the single replacement reaction.

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

AB + C → AC + B

Molecular equation:

Magnesium + iron chloride   →    iron + magnesium chloride

Chemical equation:

Mg(s)  + FeCl₂(aq)       →     MgCl₂(aq) + Fe(s)

Ionic equation:

Mg(s)  + Fe²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)       →     Mg²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + Fe(s)

Net ionic equation:

Mg(s) + Fe²⁺(aq)      →   Fe(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)
