Write and balance a net ionic equation for the reaction between iron(ii) chloride and potassium hydroxide to form iron(ii) hydroxide and potassium chloride.

The net ionic equation is written below.

Explanation:

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of iron (II) chloride and potassium hydroxide is given as:

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

As, potassium and hydroxide ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

Hence, the net ionic equation is written above.
