The equation is Fe(NO3)2 + 3Na2S2O3 -> 3Na2NO3 + Fe2(S2O3)3

  1. Detailed information about the chemical equation:

The above equation describes the reaction between Iron (II) Nitrate (Fe(NO3)2) and Sodium Thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) to form Sodium Nitrate (Na2NO3) and Iron (III) Thiosulfate (Fe2(S2O3)3).

In this equation, the mole ratio of the reactants is 1 mole of Fe(NO3)2 reacting with 3 moles of Na2S2O3 to produce 3 moles of Na2NO3 and 1 mole of Fe2(S2O3)3.

  1. Reaction conditions:

This reaction typically occurs at room temperature and standard pressure.

  1. Reaction process:
  • Step 1: Iron (II) Nitrate (Fe(NO3)2) and Sodium Thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) react to form Sodium Nitrate (Na2NO3) and Iron (III) Thiosulfate (Fe2(S2O3)3).
  • Step 2: The products Sodium Nitrate (Na2NO3) and Iron (III) Thiosulfate (Fe2(S2O3)3) separate from the reaction mixture.
  1. Occurring phenomenon:

During the reaction process, there is typically a color change in the solution from transparent (or the light color of Iron (II) Nitrate) to the dark brown color of Iron (III) Thiosulfate.
