Complete and balance the molecular equation for the reaction of aqueous iron(III) nitrate, Fe(NO3)3 , and aqueous lithium hydroxide, LiOH. Include physical states.

Question

Find Molecular Equation and the balanced net ionic equation for the reaction. Include physical states

Fe(NO₃)₃(aq) + 3 LiOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(aq) + 3 LiNO₃(aq) was incorrect

Answer 1

Your reaction is balanced correctly, but the Fe(OH)₃ will be solid (s). OH salts are not soluble unless paired with Na, K, Ca, or Ba.

Answer 2

Fe(NO₃)₃(aq) + 3 LiOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s) + 3 LiNO₃(aq) ... molecular equation

Fe³⁺(aq) + 3OH^-(aq) ==> Fe(OH)₃(s) ... net ionic equation
