Question

Write balanced chemical equation when Ferric hydroxide reacts with nitric acid.

Answer 1

1. When Ferric hydroxide reacts with nitric acid it forms salt and water as this undergoes a typical neutralization reaction.
2. The balanced chemical reaction is as follows:

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Fe}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_3+3{\mathrm{HNO}}_3\to \mathrm{Fe}{\left({\mathrm{NO}}_3\right)}_3+3{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O} \\ \mathrm{Ferric}\mathrm{nitric}\mathrm{acid}\mathrm{Ferric}\mathrm{water} \\ \mathrm{hydroxide}\mathrm{nitrate} \end{gathered}$$
