NaCl He gave an example: Ferric chloride is reacted with sodium hydroxide to produce ferric hydroxide and sodium chloride FeCl3 NaOH Fe(OH)3 + When the reaction is balanced, the number of grams (mass) of the products should equal the number of grams (mass) of the reactants! His student Marcia, said, "Um, Dr. Paley, once again, you are soooo wrong." Marcia told the class that while this works on a mole basis, the actual total mass of the products will be different than the total mass of the products And once again, chaos reigns in the good doctor's classroom. So, who is right? Or. Paley or Marcia? circle one To help clarify things for Dr. Paley and his students, work out the equation above and see who is right! Good thing, good ole' Dr. Paley finally retired!

Question

Hello! I really need help understanding how to exactly show the number of total mass of each side of the chemical equation to make it equal and how to balence it in the first place. 

NaCl He gave an example: Ferric chloride is reacted with sodium hydroxide to produce ferric hydroxide and sodium chloride FeCl3 NaOH Fe(OH)3 + When the reaction is balanced, the number of grams (mass) of the products should equal the number of grams (mass) of the reactants! His student Marcia, said, "Um, Dr. Paley, once again, you are soooo wrong." Marcia told the class that while this works on a mole basis, the actual totaLmass of the products will be different than the total mass of the products And once again, chaos reigns in the good doctor's classroom. So, who is right? Or. Paley or Marcia? circle one To help clarify things for Dr. Paley and his students, work out the equation above and see who is right! Good thing, good ole' Dr. Paley finally retired!
