Answer:
3 HNO₃ + Fe(OH)₃ → H₂O + Fe(NO₃)₃
Explanation:
An acid reacts with a base producing water and a salt. Having this in mind the reaction of nitric acid (HNO₃) and Iron (III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)₃) is:
HNO₃ + Fe(OH)₃ → H₂O + Fe(NO₃)₃
The H⁺ of the acid reacts with the OH⁻ to produce H₂O. The other ions (Fe³⁺ and NO₃⁻) produce the salt
There are 3 nitrates in products. To balance the nitrates:
3 HNO₃ + Fe(OH)₃ → H₂O + Fe(NO₃)₃
And this is the balanced reaction
