Answer:
Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s)
Explanation:
First, we will write the molecular equation because it is the easiest to balance.
FeCl₃(aq) + 3 KOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s) + 3 KCl(aq)
The full ionic equation includes all the ions and the molecular species.
Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 Cl⁻(aq) + 3 K⁺(aq) + 3 OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s) + 3 K⁺(aq) + 3 Cl⁻(aq)
The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.
Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s)
First, in order to calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal in help in identifying it, we must find the heat absorbed by the calorimeter using:
Energy = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature
Q = 250 * 1.035 * (11.08 - 10)
Q = 279.45 cal/g
Next, we use the same formula for the metal as the heat absorbed by the calorimeter is equal to the heal released by the metal.
-279.45 = 50 * c * (11.08 - 45) [minus sign added as energy released]
c = 0.165
The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.165 cal/gC
