Question

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction (if any) of iron solution with magnesium.

Briey explain why you would or would not have obtained the same experimental results if iron(II) chloride solution had been used in this experiment instead of iron(II) sulfate solution.

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction (if any) of iron solution with magnesium.

1 Mg 0 (s) + 1 Fe +2 (aq) 1 Mg +2(aq) + 1 Fe 0 (s)

Briey explain why you would or would not have obtained the same experimental results if iron(II) chloride solution had been used in this experiment instead of iron(II) sulfate solution.

Explanation / Answer

Reaction will obtained as it is a kind of single displacement reaction, where more reactive metal can replace the less reactive metal.Ands Mg is more reactive according to reactivity series, hence can react with iron salts easily.
