Question

When ammonium hydroxide is added to a solvent of iron (ll) Sulphate, a green ppt of iron (ll) hydroxide and ammonium Sulphate are formed.
Write in the form of balanced chemical equations

Answer 1

The reaction is a double displacement reaction, and occurs as follows:

NH4OH+FeSO4 = (NH4)2SO4 +Fe(OH)2
(aqeous)   (aqeous)    (aqeous)       (solid)

(the balanced equation and the compound sates)

Answer 2

Answer:

The given reaction is an example of a double displacement reaction.

A double displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which ions of two reactants are interchanged in order to form two new products.

For example, AB + CD → CB + AD

Similarly, when ammonium hydroxide reacts with iron sulfate, ammonium, and iron interchange their positions to form iron hydroxide and ammonium sulfate.

The balance chemical reaction can be written as:

FeSO₄(aq) + 2 NH₄OH(aq) → (NH₄)₂SO₄(aq) + Fe(OH)₂(s)

 iron           ammonium         ammonium          iron  

sulfate         hydroxide            sulphate        hydroxide
