In this problem, we are asked to write a balanced equation for a reaction between iron carbonate and nitric acid, and we are asked to name each reactant and product involved in this chemical reaction.
00:15
So this is an example of what is known as a gas formation reaction.
00:22
So to start off writing our equation, we know that we have iron carbonate, and that is in the solid state.
00:32
And we're also dealing with nitric acid.
00:38
And that we know is soluble in water.
00:42
So in a gas -forming reaction, we are always going to have some kind of gas forming.
00:48
And in this case, it's going to be carbon dioxide and water.
00:56
And we're also going to switch these two ions to form our other product, which is a compound.
01:05
So we have f -e -n -o -3, and that is soluble in water...
