How to Balance Iron (III) chloride + Silver nitrate → Silver chloride + Iron (III) nitrate

How to Balance: FeCl3 + AgNO3 → AgCl + Fe(NO3)3

Type of Chemical Reaction: This is a double replacement reaction.

Word Equation: Iron (III) chloride + Silver nitrate → Silver chloride + Iron (III) nitrate

Balancing Strategies: In this equation we have FeCl3 and AgNO3 combining in a double replacement reaction. It is helpful to consider the Nitrate ion (NO3) as one item when balancing this equation.

About Balancing Chemical Equations

When 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).
Coefficients are the numbers in front of the molecule.
Never change the subscripts (the small numbers after elements).
Coefficients are the numbers in front of the molecule.
