Question

write the balanced dissociation equation for solid iron(iii) hydroxide in aqueous solution. if it does not dissociate, simply write only nr. be sure to include the proper phases for all species within the reaction.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify reactant and products

Iron(III) hydroxide ($Fe(OH)_3$) dissociates into iron(III) ion ($Fe^{3 + }$) and hydroxide ions ($OH^-$) in water.
$Fe(OH)_3(s)
ightarrow Fe^{3 + }(aq)+3OH^-(aq)$

Step2: Balance the equation

The equation is already balanced as there is 1 iron atom, 3 oxygen atoms and 3 hydrogen atoms on both sides.

Answer:

$Fe(OH)_3(s)
ightleftharpoons Fe^{3 + }(aq)+3OH^-(aq)$
