Write the complete/total ionic equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs when aqueous iron(II)nitrate is added to aqueous sodium hydroxide. Identify all of the phases in your answer. Enter noreaction if no precipitate is formed. I figured out the molecular equation and the net ionic equation but I can't figure out the total ionic equation. Molecular equation: Fe(NO3)3(aq)+3NaOH(aq)->Fe(OH)3(s)+3NaNO3(aq) Net ionic equation: Fe^3(aq)+3NO^3-(aq)+3Na^+(aq)+3OH^-(aq)->Fe(OH)3(s)+3Na^+(aq)+3NO^3-(aq)
You did find the Total Ionic Equation. The Net Ionic equation is when you remove the spectator ions.
Fe^3(aq)+3OH-(aq)-> Fe(OH)3(s)
Sorry the website keeps telling me that this: Fe^3+(s)+2NO^3-(aq)+3Na+(aq)+3OH^-(aq) ------> Fe(OH)3+(s)+3Na(aq)+3NO3^-(aq) is wrong for the total ionic equation.
