Answer
(a) Iron (III) chloride + ammonium hydroxide ⟶ Ammonium chloride + Iron (III) hydroxide
(b) In the given equation:
| Reactants | Products |
|---|---|
| 1 atom of iron [Fe] | 1 atom of iron [Fe] |
| 3 atoms of chlorine [Cl] | 3 atoms of chlorine [Cl] |
| 3 atoms of nitrogen [N] | 3 atoms of nitrogen [N] |
| 15 atoms of hydrogen [H] | 15 atoms of hydrogen [H] |
| 3 atoms of oxygen [O] | 3 atoms of oxygen [O] |
As, the number of atoms of each element of reactants = the number of atoms of each element of products. Hence, the equation is balanced.
(c) Reactants – Iron (III) Chloride [FeCl3 ] and Ammonium hydroxide [3NH4OH],
Products – Ammonium Chloride [3NH4Cl] and Iron (III) Hydroxide [Fe(OH)3].
(d) The arrow between reactants and products indicates the chemical reaction taking place in the forward direction i.e., reaction is taking place between reactants and as a result products are formed. The arrow pointing downwards indicates formation of precipitate.
