Answer:
Balanced equation:
Fe(NO₃)₂(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) ----> FeCO₃(s) + 2NaNO₃(aq)
Ionic equation:
Fe²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + 2Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) ----> FeCO₃(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)
Net Ionic equation:
Fe²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) ----> FeCO₃(s)
Explanation:
The reaction between iron(ii) nitrate and sodium carbonate is a double decomposition (metathesis) reaction resulting in the precipitation of iron (ii) carbonate.
Balanced equation:
Fe(NO₃)₂(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) ----> FeCO₃(s) + 2NaNO₃(aq)
Ionic equation: The ionic equation shows the different ions present in the reaction vessel
Fe²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + 2Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) ----> FeCO₃(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)
Net Ionic equation: In the net ionic equation, only the ions reacting to produce a precipitate will appear in the equation
Fe²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) ----> FeCO₃(s)
