Explanation:
The products of chemical reaction will be as follows.
[tex]AgI + Fe_{2}(CO_{3})_{3} \rightarrow FeI_{3} + Ag_{2}CO_{3}[/tex]
To balance the equation, we will count the number of atoms on both reactant and product sides as follows.
Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.
Number of atoms on product side are as follows.
We will balance the equation by multiplying AgI by 6 on the reactant side and [tex]FeI_{3}[/tex] by 2 and [tex]Ag_{2}CO_{3}[/tex] by 3 on the product side. Therefore, balanced chemical equation will be as follows.
[tex]6AgI + Fe_{2}(CO_{3})_{3} \rightarrow 2FeI_{3} + 3Ag_{2}CO_{3}[/tex]
In this reaction, iron is replaced by silver and carbonate is replaced by iodide. Thus, it is a double displacement reaction.
