The above chemical equation describes the chemical reaction between iron(II) nitrate (Fe(NO3)2) and potassium hydroxide (KOH), producing iron(II) hydroxide (Fe(OH)2) and potassium nitrate (KNO3).
-
Reaction conditions:
- Temperature: This reaction can take place at room temperature.
- Pressure: This reaction occurs under normal atmospheric pressure.
- Environment: The reaction takes place in a water solvent environment.
-
Reaction process:
The reaction process occurs when iron(II) nitrate comes into contact with potassium hydroxide in water solvent, creating iron(II) hydroxide and potassium nitrate. -
Phenomena that occur:
At the start of the reaction, we can see the colorless or slightly yellow solution of iron(II) nitrate combined with the white solution of potassium hydroxide to form the green precipitate of iron(II) hydroxide along with the colorless solution of potassium nitrate.
