This equation describes the reaction process between Iron(III) chloride (FeCl3) and Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form Iron(III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3) and Sodium chloride (NaCl).
- Reaction conditions:
This reaction occurs under normal conditions and does not require any specific additional conditions.
- Reaction process:
FeCl3 and NaOH, when reacting with each other, will form a new substance, Fe(OH)3 and NaCl. FeCl3 will transition from a solid state to a liquid state when mixed with NaOH. The reaction process happens as follows:
FeCl3 + 3NaOH -> Fe(OH)3 + 3NaCl
- Occurrences:
When the two reactive substances FeCl3 and NaOH come into contact with each other, a boiling phenomenon will occur and create a reddish-brown solid substance known as Fe(OH)3. The solution after the reaction will become clear and colorless, this is a sign indicating the formation of Sodium chloride (NaCl).
