The answer is FeCI3. I took this on the exam and got it right. :)

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The reaction between [tex]CaCl_{2}[/tex] and [tex]Fe(NO_{3})_{3}[/tex] is as follows.

   [tex]CaCl_{2} + Fe(NO_{3})_{3} \rightarrow Ca(NO_{3})_{2} + FeCl_{3}[/tex]

Number of reactants are as follows.

  • Ca = 1
  • Cl = 2
  • Fe = 1
  • [tex]NO_{3}[/tex] = 6

Number of products are as follows.

  • Ca = 1
  • Cl = 3
  • Fe = 1
  • [tex]NO_{3}[/tex] = 2

To balance the equation, on the reactant side multiply [tex]CaCl_{2}[/tex] by 3 and [tex]Fe(NO_{3})_{3}[/tex] by 2. On the product side multiply [tex]Ca(NO_{3})_{2}[/tex] by 3 and [tex]FeCl_{3}[/tex] by 2.

Therefore, the balanced chemical equation will be as follows.

[tex]3CaCl_{2} + 2Fe(NO_{3})_{3} \rightarrow 3Ca(NO_{3})_{2} + 2FeCl_{3}[/tex]

Thus, out of the given options, [tex]FeCl_{3}[/tex] is one of the products produced when [tex]CaCl_{2}[/tex] and [tex]Fe(NO_{3})_{3}[/tex] react together.
