Chemical Properties and Reactions

The video tutorial explains the process of mixing iron II chloride (FeCl2) with water, highlighting its solubility as an ionic compound. It demonstrates how to use a solubility table to confirm FeCl2's solubility in water, identifying the ions involved. The tutorial then guides viewers through writing the chemical equation for the dissolution of FeCl2 in water, emphasizing the aqueous state of the ions. The video concludes with a brief thank you from Dr. B.

How many chloride ions are present when iron(II) chloride dissolves in water?

• Two

• Four

• Three

• One

What does 'aq' signify in a chemical equation?

• The substance is a gas

• The substance is a solid

• The substance is dissolved in water

• The substance is a liquid

Why is water not written on the product side of the equation?

• Because it is a reactant

• Because it evaporates

• Because it is not involved in the reaction

• Because the ions are already shown as aqueous

What is the final form of the chemical equation for iron(II) chloride in water?

• FeCl2 (l) + H2O (aq) → Fe2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq)

• FeCl2 (aq) + H2O (l) → Fe2+ (s) + 2Cl- (s)

• FeCl2 (s) + H2O (l) → Fe2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq)

• FeCl2 (s) + H2O (g) → Fe2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq)
