_FeCI3 + _ NaOH = _ NaCI + _Fe(OH)3 balance and strength the coefficients for each substance

FeCl₃ + 3 NaOH ⇒ 3 NaCl + Fe(OH)₃

Explanation:

Let's consider the following unbalanced equation. This is a double displacement reaction.

FeCl₃ + NaOH ⇒ NaCl + Fe(OH)₃

We will start balancing Cl atoms by multiplying NaCl by 3.

FeCl₃ + NaOH ⇒ 3 NaCl + Fe(OH)₃

Then, we will get the balanced equation by multiplying NaOH by 3.

FeCl₃ + 3 NaOH ⇒ 3 NaCl + Fe(OH)₃

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
