need help w/ this chem question

[tropicalwaters]

Can't figure it out:

If 19.0 grams of Cobalt are mixed with 19 g of FeCl₂, Cobalt (II) chloride and iron are formed.

-how do I balance this:

CO + FeCl₂= CO (II) CL₂ + Fe

- and how many grams of each product will be produced?

Cobalt isn't CO. CO is a carbon monoxide! Cobalt is Co.
Balanced equation:

Code: Select all

Co + FeCl2= CoCl2 + Fe
