How to Balance:

FeCl3 + AgNO3 → AgCl + Fe(NO3)3

Word equation: Iron (III) chloride + Silver nitrate → Silver chloride + Iron (III) nitrate

Type of Chemical Reaction: For this reaction we have a double replacement reaction.

Balancing Strategies: In this equation we have FeCl3 and AgNO3 combining in a double replacement reaction. It is helpful to consider the Nitrate ion (NO3) as one item when balancing this equation.

For a complete explanation, watch:

When balancing chemical equations our goal is to have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.

Only change the coefficients (these are the numbers in front substances).
Coefficients are the numbers in front of the molecule.
Never change the subscripts (the small numbers after elements).
Coefficients are the numbers in front of the molecule.
