expressing in equations
« on: February 07, 2006, 04:35:27 AM »
how would you express "acid solution of Iron (II) in excess fluoride"?
is it  H+ (aq) + Fe 2+ (aq) + F2 (g)
thank`s for any advice

You are mistaking fluorine and fluoride.

Aarrgggh, yep just seen that  ::)
F + (aq) ??
Is that correct in the equation now, or do I have the equation wrong anyway?
thank`s.

F-(aq) - note that (aq) should be the same size and font as formula is, not subscript!

But correct answer depends on the level of your education - you should either list Fe2+, H+ and F-, or take HF into account, as hydrofluoric acid is a weak one and F- will be protonated in the acidic solution.
