Question

Enter an equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs (if any) when you mix solutions of ammonium chloride and iron(III) nitrate. Express your answer as a chemical equation, with phases, coefficients, and a reaction arrow. If there is no reaction, write "NO REACTION" in place of the products. If there is a reaction, enter the products after the equation arrow. a) NH₄Cl (aq) + Fe(NO₃)₃ (aq) → NO REACTION

b) NH₄Cl (aq) + Fe(NO₃)₃ (aq) → FeCl₃ (s) + NH₄NO₃ (aq)

c) NH₄Cl (aq) + Fe(NO₃)₃ (aq) → NH₄Fe(NO₃)₃ (aq) + Cl₂ (g)

d) NH₄Cl (aq) + Fe(NO₃)₃ (aq) → FeCl₃ (s) + NH₄NO₂ (aq)

Answer 1

The equation for the precipitation reaction between ammonium chloride and iron(III) nitrate is NH₄Cl (aq) + Fe(NO₃)₃ (aq) → FeCl₃ (s) + NH₄NO₃ (aq)

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs when solutions of ammonium chloride and iron(III) nitrate are mixed is:

NH₄Cl (aq) + Fe(NO₃)₃ (aq) → FeCl₃ (s) + NH₄NO₃ (aq)

In this reaction, the ammonium chloride solution reacts with the iron(III) nitrate solution to form solid iron(III) chloride (FeCl₃) and ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) in solution.

Both reactants and products are represented with their respective phases and coefficients, and the arrow indicates the direction of the reaction.
