Question

Balanced equation for decomposition of Iron(III) Hydrogen Carbonate?

Answer 1

There are only two possible combination for decomposition of Iron(III) Hydrogen Carbonate.

Explanation:

Here is one possible way of decomposition of Iron(III) Hydrogen Carbonate.

`2Fe(HCO_3)_3 = Fe_2(CO_3)_3 +3CO_2 + 3H_2O`

So as you may of recall what do FE, HCO, CO, `H_2O` mean, let explain what they mean.

• Fe stands for Iron but it Iron(III) as it a transition metal which mean that 1 version doesn't exist like the other.
• HCO is Hydrogen Carbonate
• `CO_2` is Carbon Dioxide

Another combination to decompose Iron(III) Hydrogen Carbonate is:

`2Fe(HCO_3)_3 = Fe_2O_3 + 3H_2O + 6CO_2`

Now, before you you need to double check to ensure that there is the same number of elements on both side.

For example, if one sides has 2 Iron, then the other side needs to have two iron as-well. So ensure that the ratio is equal on both sides.
