Answer:

The answer to your question is KNO₃ is soluble and Fe(OH)₃ is insoluble.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Potassium hydroxide (KOH)

Iron nitrate Fe(NO₃)₃

Double displacement reaction

3KOH + Fe(NO₃)₃ ⇒ 3KNO₃ + Fe(OH)₃

Conclusion

KNO₃ is soluble because compounds containing alkali metals ions are

soluble and also compounds containing nitrate ion are soluble.

Fe(OH)₃ is insoluble because compounds containing OH are insoluble

except Ba(OH)₂
