Question:

Write the balanced molecular equation, ionic equation, and net ionic equation for the following reaction.

{eq}NH_3 + Fe(NO_3)_3 \to {/eq}

Chemical Equation:

For reactions involving ionic compounds, there are three methods of presenting the reaction: (1) Molecular equation - shows compounds as if they are molecules, (2) Ionic equation - shows ionic compounds in their dissociated forms and (3) net ionic equation - ionic equation but with the omission of the spectator ions.

Answer and Explanation: 1

MOLECULAR EQUATION: {eq}\rm Fe(NO_3)_3 + 3NH_3 + 3H_2O \to Fe(OH)_3 + 3NH_4NO_3 {/eq}

IONIC EQUATION: {eq}\rm Fe^{3+} + 3NO_3^- +3NH_3 + 3H_2O \to Fe(OH)_3 + 3NH_4^+ + 3NO_3^- {/eq}

NET IONIC EQUATION: {eq}\rm Fe^{3+} +3NH_3 + 3H_2O \to Fe(OH)_3 + 3NH_4^+ {/eq}

Even with excess ammonia, iron(III) hydroxide
