When I balance this equation, I get:
FeBr3 + 3NaOH → 3NaBr + Fe(OH)3
But my science textbook says the answer is:
2FeBr3 + 6NaOH → 6NaBr + 2Fe(OH)3
Who is right? Because I think my answer is the smallest ratio.
FeBr3 + 3NaOH → 3NaBr + Fe(OH)3
But my science textbook says the answer is:
2FeBr3 + 6NaOH → 6NaBr + 2Fe(OH)3

You are!! The mole ratio's must be reduced to lowest terms..
