An aqueous solution of Iron(III) sulfate, Fe2(SO4)3, is mixed with an aqueous solution of Sodium hydroxide, NaOH. Write:. a. balanced molecular equation b. the total ionic equation c. the net ionic equation showing all phases.

a.

b.

c.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between sodium hydroxide and iron (III) sulfate yields iron (III) hydroxide, an insoluble base, and sodium sulfate, a soluble salt, we can write the molecular equation as shown below:

a.

Now, for the total ionic equation, we make sure we separate the aqueous species in ions (dissociation) in order to write:

b.

Finally, the net ionic equation comes up by cancelling out the spectator ions, those at both reactants and products sides:

Or just:

c.
