Balance the equation below:
Fe+CuSO4
[Fe+CuSO4 = FeSO4+Cu is not the correct answer]

Fe + CuSO4 = Fe2 (SO4)3 + Cu - Chemical Equation Balancer

Explanation:

To balance Fe + CuSO4 = Cu + FeSO4 you'll need to be sure to count all of atoms on each side of the chemical equation. When we balance equations with polyatomic ions, like SO4 2- it is helpful to consider the SO4 as one item as long as there is a SO4 on both sides of the chemical equation.

Once you know how many of each type of atom you have you can only change the coefficients (the numbers in front of atoms or compounds) to balance the equation.

Important tips for balancing chemical equations like Cu + FeSO4 | Iron and Copper(II) Sulfate:

- Only change the numbers in front of compounds (the coefficients).

- Never change the numbers after atoms (the subscripts).

- The number of each atom on both sides of the equation must be the same for the equation to be balanced.

b.

the accuracy of the data.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
