What does nitric acid and iron oxide make?
The reaction between iron and nitric acid eventually produces a red-brown rust colour (iron(III) oxide). Students could link this with corrosion and acid rain.
What is the word equation for the reaction between iron oxide and nitric acid?
Fe2O3 + 6 HNO3 → 2 Fe(NO3)3 + 3 H2O – Balanced equation | Chemical Equations online!
Does iron III oxide react with acid?
3 Fe2O3 + H2 → 2 Fe3O4 + H2O. Iron(III) oxide is insoluble in water but dissolves readily in strong acid, e.g. hydrochloric and sulfuric acids.
What happens when iron hydroxide reacts with nitric acid?
Fe(OH)3+3HNO3→Fe(NO3)3+3H2O.
What salt is formed when nitric acid reacts with iron II oxide?
Ferric nitrite is formed. Ferric nitrate is formed.
What salt is formed when iron reacts with nitric acid?
Iron nitrate
How many different salts can you make using your six cards?
| Metal | Acid | Salt name |
|---|---|---|
| Zinc | Sulfuric acid | Zinc sulfate |
| Iron | Hydrochloric acid | Iron chloride |
| Iron | Nitric acid | Iron nitrate |
| Iron | Sulfuric acid | Iron sulfate |
Will nitric acid dissolve iron oxide?
It is reported that an effective method of dissolving iron oxide is to place it in near boiling concentrated hydrochloric acid. Nitric and sulfuric acids are claimed to have very little or no effect on solid iron oxide.
Is Fe2O3 acidic or basic?
Ferric oxide, also known as iron(III) oxide, is an amphoteric oxide of iron with the chemical formula Fe2O3. It can be noted that oxides of iron, aluminium, and tin, are all amphoteric chemical species – they exhibit both acidic and basic qualities.
What happens when iron reacts with a solution of concentrated nitric acid?
