Hey iv been given a tutorial question that says:
How many electrons are transferred in the following reaction?
Fe + 2HCl -> FeCl2 + H2
Now when you go to a redution potential table and get
Fe2+ + 2e- -> Fe(s)
2H+ + 2e- -> H2
Cl2 + 2e- -> 2Cl-
Do you have to do the reaction between the H and Cl first and then do the whole reaction or what?
Cheers
