Question

A chemist wishes to precipitate iron ions out of a solution of iron (III) nitrate.  Complete balanced equation, total ionic equation and a net ionic equation have been provided. Identify a spectator ion.

Complete Balanced Chemical Equation 

Fe (NO3)3 (aq) + 3 NaOH (aq)  -->   Fe (OH)3 (s) + 3 NaNO3 (aq)

Total Ionic Equation 

Fe3+ (aq) + 3 NO3- (aq) + 3Na+ (aq) + 3 OH- (aq) -->  Fe (OH)3 (s) + 3 Na+ (aq) + 3 NO3- (aq)

Net Ionic Equation 

Fe3+ (aq) + 3 OH- (aq)  -->   Fe (OH)3 (s)
