How to Balance Hydrobromic acid + Iron (III) hydroxide → Iron (III) bromide + Water |
How to Balance: HBr + Fe(OH)3 → FeBr3 + H2O
Type of Chemical Reaction: This is a neutralization reaction.
Word Equation: Hydrobromic acid + Iron (III) hydroxide → Iron (III) bromide + Water
| Balancing Strategies: This is a neutralization reaction because the HBr and Fe(OH)3 are combining to form a salt, that's the FeBr3, and water.
We could also consider it a double and and dislacement reaction, and as well. This is a little more challenging equation to balance so stick with it! For a complete explanation, watch:
About Balancing Chemical EquationsWhen balancing chemical equations our goal is to have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.Only change the coefficients (these are the numbers in front substances).
 Never change the subscripts (the small numbers after elements).
