Answer 1

Answer:

2 FeBr₃(aq) + 3 (NH₄)₂CO₃(aq) = Fe₂(CO₃)₃(s) + 6 NH₄Br(aq)

Explanation:

Aqueous solutions of iron(III) bromide and ammonium carbonate react. This is a double displacement reaction that gives place to ammonium bromide and iron (III) carbonate. Iron (III) carbonate is insoluble so it precipitates. The corresponding molecular equation is:

2 FeBr₃(aq) + 3 (NH₄)₂CO₃(aq) = Fe₂(CO₃)₃(s) + 6 NH₄Br(aq)
