Question

Iron iii chloride ammonium hydroxide balanced equation, complete ionic equation, net ionic equation

Answer 1

Iron III Chloride has a chemical formula of FeCl₃, while ammonium hydroxide has a chemical formula of NH₄OH. 

The balanced equation would be:

FeCl₃ (aq) + 3 NH₄OH (aq) → Fe(OH)₃ (s) + 3 NH₄Cl (aq)
The precipitate is Fe(OH)₃ or iron iii hydroxide.

To find the complete ionic equation, dissociate the compounds in aqueous phases into their ionic forms:

Fe³⁺ + Cl⁻ + NH₄⁺ + 3 OH⁻ -->  Fe(OH)₃(s) + NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻ 

To find the net ionic equation, cancel out like ions that appear both in the reactant and product side:

Fe³⁺ +  3 OH⁻ -->  Fe(OH)₃
