Hydrogen sulfide gas H2S and aqueous iron(II) chloride are formed by the reaction of aqueous hydrochloric acid HCl and solid iron(II) sulfide . Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction

Respuesta :

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

2HCl (aq) + FeS (s) -----> FeCl2 (aq) + H2S (g)

Explanation:

Answer:

[tex]2HCl(aq.)+FeS(s)\rightarrow H_{2}S(g)+FeCl_{2}(aq.)[/tex]

Explanation:

Unbalanced equation: [tex]HCl(aq.)+FeS(s)\rightarrow H_{2}S(g)+FeCl_{2}(aq.)[/tex]

Balance Cl: [tex]2HCl(aq.)+FeS(s)\rightarrow H_{2}S(g)+FeCl_{2}(aq.)[/tex]

We can see both side of equation contains two H atoms, two Cl atoms, one Fe atom and one S atom.

Therefore it is a balanced equation.

Balanced equation: [tex]2HCl(aq.)+FeS(s)\rightarrow H_{2}S(g)+FeCl_{2}(aq.)[/tex]
