Question

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and iron(III) hydroxide.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, for the reaction between aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and iron (III) hydroxide, we have the following complete molecular reaction:

$3NH_4Cl(aq)+Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow 3NH_4OH+FeCl_3$

And the full ionic equation, taking into account that the iron (III) hydroxide cannot be dissolved as it is insoluble in water:

$3NH_4^+(aq)+3Cl^-(aq)+Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow 3NH_4^+(aq)+3OH^-(aq)+Fe^{3+}(aq)+3Cl^-(aq)$

Finally, the net ionic equation, considering that spectator ions are NH₄⁺, Cl⁻ as they are both the left and right side, therefore, the net ionic equation is:

$Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)$
