Answer:
but iron is 2 and 3 by its valance how could it be possible
The final volume of the air in the balloon would be about 5.4 L
Answer:
I don't see a specific question, so I'll make a few comments and hope that answers the reason for the post.
Explanation:
Zinc(Zn) does react with iron chloride, since zinc is a more reactive metal than the iron.
When Zn is introduced to an iron (III) chloride solution, the Zn disoplaces the Fe atom in a displacement reaction.
The chemical equation of the reaction:
Zn + Fe(III)Cl3 → ZnCl3 + Fe
Energy is often realeased in this type of reaction, since the resulting chemical products have a lower energy that the reactants.
There are several metals more reactive than iron. One of the more interesting examples of a highly exothermic reaction with iron chloride (rust) is the reaction of aluminum with iron chloride. `This is highly exothermic and is labelled a thermite reaction. It provides a spectacular flame that is not enough to weld railroad tracks together.
Reduction <span>always results in a lowering of the oxidation number. The reaction of the system above is written as:
</span><span>Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) --> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq)
</span>
From the reaction, we see that copper goes from the +2 to a neutral charge. Lowering of the oxidation number happens so this is the element that is being reduced.
