Trying to write a reaction and balance it. Need help.

Post by Cory-Reed »

I'm stuck ...

I am writing a lab report, and writing this out would kinda just be kool, but not required. The reaction forms a brown, rust colored precipitate, but I can't write the reaction for the life of me. (nor find it online)

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2COONa (also known as Sodium Stearate, or soap) + FeCl2


CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2COONa (dissolved in 5 mL of distiled H2O) + FeCl2 -->


I am also having trouble with these reactions ...


CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2COONa (dissolved in 5 mL of distiled H2O) + CaCl2 -->

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2COONa (dissolved in 5 mL of distiled H2O) + MgCl2 -->

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2COONa (dissolved in 5 mL of distiled H2O) + tap water -->


Please help ...
