Select the properly written and balanced equation for the following chemical reaction: Aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide and iron (III) nitrate react to produce a precipitate of iron (III) hydroxide in an aqueous solution of sodium nitrate. 3NaOH (aq) + Fe(NO3)3 (aq) arrow Fe(OH)3 (s) + 3NaNO3 (aq) NaOH (aq) + FeNO3 (aq) arrow FeOH (s) + NaNO3 (aq) NaOH (aq) + Fe(NO3)3 (aq) arrow FeOH3 (s) + NaNO3 (aq) 3NaOH (aq) + FeNO3 (aq) arrow FeOH (s) + 3NaNO3 (aq)

Respuesta :

First, understand the reactants and products.
Aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide + aqueous solution of iron (III) nitrate -->solid precipitate of iron (III) hydroxide + aqueous solution of sodium nitrate

Change the reaction into symbols.
NaOH (aq) + Fe(NO3)3 (aq) --> Fe(OH)3 (s) + NaNO3

Balance the equation such that the number of reactants and number of products are in equilibrium.
3 NaOH (aq) + Fe(NO3)3 (aq) --> Fe(OH)3 (s) + 3 NaNO3

Thus, the first reaction is the final balanced reaction.
3NaOH(aq) +  Fe(NO3)3 (aq) → Fe(OH)3 (s) +  3NaNO3(aq)
