Verified Answer :

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

    \(Fe + Cl_{2} \rightarrow FeCl_{3}\)

Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

  • Fe = 1
  • Cl = 2

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

  • Fe = 1
  • Cl = 3

To balance the given equation, we multiply Fe by 2 and \(Cl_{2}\) by 3 on the reactant side. Therefore, the balanced chemical equation will be as follows.

           \(2Fe + 3Cl_{2} \rightarrow FeCl_{3}\)

Thus, the coefficient of \(Cl_{2}\) is 3.

In the given reaction, the coefficient of \(\bold{Cl_2}\) is 3.

The correct option is (C) 3.

What is coefficient?

A number or amount associated with a variable is referred to as a coefficient.

In the given equation:

\(\bold{Fe +Cl_2 = FeCl_3}\)\(\bold{2Fe +3Cl_2 = 2FeCl_3}\) →

Number of atoms of elements on the reactant side:

Fe = 1

Cl  = 2

Number of atoms of elements on the product side:

Fe = 1

Cl  = 3

To balance the equation, we put the given atomic number of the elements in the equation.

\(\bold{2Fe +3Cl_2 = 2FeCl_3}\)

Thus, the coefficient for the chlorine is 3.
