Net Ionic equation
« on: June 15, 2010, 09:44:08 PM »
I need some help with this problem. Here it is:

What would be the net ionic equation for the following reaction?

2Fe(OH)3(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) --> Fe2(SO4)3(aq) + 6H2O(l)

Here is what I have done:

UPDATED:

Full ionic:
2Fe(OH3)(s) + 6H+(aq) + 3SO42-(aq) --> 2Fe3+(aq) + 3SO42-(aq) + 6H2O(l)

Net ionic:
2Fe(OH3)(s) + 6H+(aq) --> 2Fe3+(aq) + 6H2O(l)
= Fe(OH)3(s) + 3H+(aq) --> Fe3+(aq) + 3H2O(l)

Am I correct? Do I have the correct states of matter as well? Also, should I get the LCM like I did in the last step or just leave it as is?

Thanks in advance!

Looks OK to me. Everything.
