Answer:

  • CO₃²⁻ + H₂O <----------------> HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻
  • The chemical formula of the precipitate is Fe(OH)₃

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Fe(NO₃)₃ and K₂CO₃ are strong electrolytes and completely dissociate in water. Carbonate ions is a weak base and combine with water to form hydroxide ions (OH⁻), CO₃²⁻ + H₂O <----------------> HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻
  • Ferric, Fe (III), combines with these hydroxide ions to form insoluble precipitates. Fe(OH)₃ is only partially soluble i.e., it does not completely dissociate in water. When the solutions of Fe(NO₃)₃ and K₂CO₃ are mixed, Fe(OH)₃ precipitates out due to the strong electrostatic attraction between Fe (III) and hydroxide ions.
