Homework Statement
When Fe(NO3)3 and KSCN reated, it immediatly turned red. my teacher says this si the stuff they use for fake blood in movies. My problem is, we must state the reaction type.
Homework Equations
the products, I am assuming, are FeSCN and KNO3 (i know I did not yet balance this).
The Attempt at a Solution
Based on this, i would assume it is a double replacement reaction. However, no precipitate formed and no gas was released. i feel its obvious that this was a chemical reaction, but I am having difficulty classifying it as a double replacement, single replacement, synthesis, decomposition of combustion reaction, becasue it does not seem to match any of their descriptions. (ps I am only in chemistry 1)
