Fe + Fe2(SO4)3 → 3 FeSO4 – Balanced equation

You are viewing the article: Fe + Fe2(SO4)3 → 3 FeSO4 – Balanced equation at Traloitructuyen.com

Or you want a quick look:

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

Fe - 2 e^- → Fe^II (oxidation)

2 Fe^III + 2 e^- → 2 Fe^II (reduction)

Fe is a reducing agent, Fe₂(SO₄)₃ is an oxidizing agent (synproportionation (comproportionation)).
