Madden Scott · Answer 1

The answer is: the coefficients are 2, 3, 3, 2.

Balanced chemical reaction: 2FeCl₃ + 3Zn → 3ZnCl₂ + 2Fe.

Oxidation reaction: Zn⁰ → Zn⁺² + 2e⁻ / *3.

Reduction reaction: Fe⁺³ + 3e⁻ → Fe⁰ / *2.

Oxidation reaction: 3Zn⁰ → 3Zn⁺² + 6e⁻.

Reduction reaction: 2Fe⁺³ + 6e⁻ → 2Fe⁰.

Zinc change oxidation number from 0 to + 2 (oxidation) and iron change oxidation number from + 3 to 0 (reduction).

2FeCl3+3Zn arrow 3ZnCl2+2Fe is the answer
