Sodium permanganate and iron(III) chloride are both dissolved in a beaker of water. In a double displacement reaction, two new products are formed. a. Write the complete balanced chemical equation (using chemical formulas, not words) for this reaction. Include the physical states of the reactants and the products

Respuesta :

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

[tex]AB+CD\rightarrow CB+AD[/tex]

When sodium permanganate reacts with iron (III) chloride, it leads to the production of sodium chloride and iron (III) permanganate.

The chemical equation for the reaction of sodium permanganate and iron (III) chloride follows:

[tex]3NaMnO_4(aq.)+FeCl_3(aq.)\rightarrow Fe(MnO_4)_3(s)+3NaCl(aq.)[/tex]

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of aqueous solution of sodium permanganate reacts with 1 mole of aqueous solution of iron (III) chloride to produce 1 mole of solid iron permanganate and 3 moles of aqueous solution of sodium chloride

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
