The balanced equation for the reaction described is [tex]2 FeCl_3 + 3 Na_2CO_3 = Fe_2(CO_3)_3 + 6 NaCl[/tex]
A reaction is known to be balanced if the number of moles of the element in the reactant is equal to the moles of the element in the product.
Given the chemical reaction.
Iron (III) chloride + sodium carbonate → iron (III) carbonate + sodium chloride
Converting these compounds to chemical formula will give:
[tex]2 FeCl_3 + 3 Na_2CO_3 = Fe_2(CO_3)_3 + 6 NaCl[/tex]
From the equation, we can see that the number of iron elements at the reactant is equal to that at the product. Same with Chlorine, sodium, nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen
