Answer:FeCO3

Step-by-step explanation:

Iron II carbonate dissolves in acid more easily because the Fe2+ will form complexes that are more stable in acidic media. In basic media, the iron II ion will precipitate from solution at high pH. Lead II ion is amphoteric and can dissolve both in acidic and basic media alike. Hence Fe2+ is more soluble in acidic media than in basic media.

The compound FECO3 is more soluble in acid than in base because it is insoluble when put in water and also it has the boiling point of 632.48 Fahrenheit. The color of FECO3 is white and it is a crystal type element.
