Answer:

2FeCl3 (aq) + 3Mg (s) → 3MgCl2 (aq) +2Fe (s)

Explanation:

Reactants:

1. Iron chloride  

2. Magnesium

Product:

1. Magnesium chloride

2. Iron

When an aqueous iron chloride react with solid magnesium two products are formed:

1. Magnesium chloride (MgCl2)  

2. Iron (Fe)

The Magnesium chloride is in aqueous form while iron is produced in solid form. This reaction require 300-400 °C.

Chemical equation

FeCl3 + Mg → MgCl2 + Fe  

Balanced chemical e

quation with physical states

2FeCl3 (aq) + 3Mg (s) → 3MgCl2 (aq) +2Fe (s)
