Step 41: Excess iron(II) oxide, Fe,03, was added to dilute hydrochloric acid, HCI. ironitl!) chloride, FeCl,
and water were formed as products. The reaction mixture was filtered to remove unreacted
ironittl) oxide and the filtrate was collected.
Step 2: The filtrate obtained in step 1 was added in excess to 30 cm® of 2.0 mol/dm® sodium hydroxide
solution, NaOH. A brown precipitate of ironitll) hydroxide, Fe(OH)s, was formed
{@) Write an ionic equation, including state symbols, to show the reaction in step 1.
‘Thought Process
«The first step in writing an ionic equation is to write the balanced chemical equation.
Fe,0,(s) + 6HC{aq) > 2FeCi.(aq) + 3H20(0)
‘Then, rewrite an equation in terms of ions and cancel out the spectator ions.
Fe,0,(s) + 6H*(aq) + SCHtaq) —> 2Fe*(aq) + BCA) + 3H,0(0)
Answer
Fe,0,(s) + 6H"(aq) —> 2Fe*(aq) + 3H,0(/)
(b) (i) Write an ionic equation for the reaction in step 2.
(ii) Calculate the mass of iron(tl) hydroxide precipitated in step 2.
‘Thought Process
(i) Since iron(lll) chloride is in excess, sodium hydroxide solution is the limiting reactant. The
amount of product(s) formed is determined by the amount of limiting reactant used.‘Answer
(i) Fe*(aq) + 30H (aq) —> Fe(OH).(s)

Relative formula mass (M) of Fe(OH)
Mass of Fe(OH)s = number of moles x molar mass
