Ion charges: (Na^+, Fe^2+, OH-, SO4^2-)

Write a balanced chemical equation for the change you observed in the laboratory

Answer:

Note that the reaction in this experiment is:

Iron (II) sulfate + sodium hydroxide → iron (II) hydroxide + sodium sulfate

Answer 1

FeSO₄ + 2NaOH → Fe(OH)₂ + Na₂SO₄

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the reaction is:

FeSO₄ + 2NaOH → Fe(OH)₂ + Na₂SO₄

Dissociation of each compound

FeSO₄ → Fe²⁺ + SO₄⁻²

NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻

Fe(OH)₂ → Fe²⁺ + 2OH⁻

Na₂SO₄ → 2Na⁺ + SO₄⁻²
