Answer to Question #333888 in Chemistry for LOUIS

Question

Aqueous iron (III) chloride and sodium carbonate solution yields aqueous sodium chloride and a precipitate of iron (III) carbonate.​

Answer 1

Solution:

Word equation:

Aqueous iron (III) chloride and sodium carbonate solution yields aqueous sodium chloride and a precipitate of iron (III) carbonate.​

Complete chemical equation:

2FeCl₃(aq) + 3Na₂CO₃(aq) → 6NaCl(aq) + Fe₂(CO₃)₃(s)

Total ionic equation:

2Fe³⁺(aq) + 6Cl⁻(aq) + 6Na⁺(aq) + 3CO₃²⁻(aq) → 6Na⁺(aq) + 6Cl⁻(aq) + Fe₂(CO₃)₃(s)

Net ionic equation:

2Fe³⁺(aq) + 3CO₃²⁻(aq) → Fe₂(CO₃)₃(s)
