What is the net ionic equation for the reaction

ofFeCl3 and KOH in water?

Fe³⁺ (aq) + 3 OH⁻ (aq) → Fe (OH) ₃ (s)

Explanation:

First, we will write the molecular equation because it is the easiest to balance.

FeCl₃ (aq) + 3 KOH (aq) → Fe (OH) ₃ (s) + 3 KCl (aq)

The full ionic equation includes all the ions and the molecular species.

Fe³⁺ (aq) + 3 Cl⁻ (aq) + 3 K⁺ (aq) + 3 OH⁻ (aq) → Fe (OH) ₃ (s) + 3 K⁺ (aq) + 3 Cl⁻ (aq)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.

Fe³⁺ (aq) + 3 OH⁻ (aq) → Fe (OH) ₃ (s)
