Concentrated aqueous solutions of iron (III)chloride,sodium hydroxide,and potassium nitrate are mixed together.The precipitate which forms is ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Iron (III) chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide to form a precipitate of iron (III) hydroxide, which can be represented by the following equation:
FeCl3 + 3NaOH → Fe(OH)3 + 3NaCl
Potassium nitrate does not react with either iron (III) chloride or sodium hydroxide, so it remains in solution. Thus, the precipitate which forms is iron (III) hydroxide.
