Chem Balancing Equation
« on: August 01, 2016, 07:56:39 PM »
Balance the following equation?
K2C2O4.H2O+FeCl3.6H2O=K3[Fe(ox)3].3H2O

Another rule is not to post in all caps -- I fixed your heading not to be all caps

Is this the formula you were given with the subscripts correctly placed
K2C2O4.H2O+FeCl3.6H2O=K3[Fe(ox)3].3H2O
or is there more you missed when you posted.

Balancing is difficult when different symbols are used for the same specie. Moreover something is missing in this reaction.


K2C2O4·H2O+FeCl3·6H2O=K3[Fe(C2O4)3]·3H2O+H2O+KCl

Potassium trioxalatoferrate(III) trihydrate is very good soluble in water, hence writing hydrate in this reaction makes no sense when reaction is in water.
