2. A student tries to balance a reaction in which iron(II) chloride reacts with potassium
phosphate to produce iron(II) phosphate and potassium chloride:
FeCl, + K,PO, →
→ Fe,(PO,), + KCI
Which of the following is the correct way to balance it?
a. 3 FeCl, + 2 K,PO, → Fe,(PO,), + 6 KCI
b. FeCl, + K,PO, → FEPO, + K,Cl,
Explain what is wrong with the incorrect choice above.
