-
The above equation describes the reaction process between Nitric acid (HNO3) and Iron(III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3).
-
The result of the reaction is the formation of Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), water (H2O) and Iron(III) nitrate (Fe(NO3)3).
- Reaction conditions:
- The reaction occurs in excess acid environment.
- Reaction process:
-
During the reaction process, Nitric acid (HNO3) reacts with Iron(III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3), creating Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), water (H2O) and Iron(III) nitrate (Fe(NO3)3).
-
The reaction occurs at a mol ratio of 4:1:2:2:1.
- Phenomena occurring:
-
When Nitric acid (HNO3) reacts with Iron(III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3), brown Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas appears, simultaneously producing Iron(III) nitrate (Fe(NO3)3) compound and water (H2O).
-
Phenomenon: Brown Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas is released, the solution changes from the brown-yellow color of Iron(III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3) to the light yellow color of Iron(III) nitrate (Fe(NO3)3).
