An aqueous solution of Iron(lll) Nitrate is added to an aqueous solution of sodium sulfate.

Question

An aqueous solution of Iron(lll) Nitrate is added to an aqueous solution of sodium sulfate. Please state balanced Molecular, total ionic, and complete ionic equations. Be sure to clearly label your precipitate and all phases.

Molecular

Total ionic

complete ionic

please, explain how can I solve this!

Answer 1

Iron(III) nitrate = Fe(NO₃)₃

Sodium sulfate = Na₂SO₄

Molecular

2Fe(NO₃)_3(aq) + 3Na₂SO₄(aq) -> Fe₂(SO₄)₃(s) + 6NaNO₃(aq)

Total ionic and complete ionic are the same.

2Fe³⁺(aq) + 6NO₃(aq) + 6Na⁺(aq) + 3SO₄^2-(aq) -> Fe₂(SO₄)₃(s) + 6Na⁺(aq) + 6NO₃(aq)

net ionic

2Fe³⁺(aq) + 3SO₄^2-(aq) -> Fe₂(SO₄)₃(s)
