The missing product from this reaction is ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The missing product should have the same number and type of atoms as the reactants, and should balance the charge as well. The reactants have one iron ion with a +3 charge (Fe3+), two hydroxide ions with a -1 charge each (OH-), and 3 water molecules (H2O). The product should therefore have two hydroxide ions (OH-) with a -1 charge each, and one iron ion with a +3 charge (Fe3+). The only option that fits this description is D, which has Fe(OH)3 as the product.
