Write the balanced equation, the ionic, and net ionic equation for the reaction of Iron ll Nitrate and Sodium Carbonate: Fe(NO3)2 (aq)+Na2CO3(aq)

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)
