I'm doing a homework on Translating Word Equations and I wanted to know the answer for this question...
Iron(ll) hydroxide reacts with hydrogen peroxide to produce iron(lll) hydroxide.
Please help needed!
Fe(OH)2 + H2O2=> Fe(OH)3
I think this is it (I just translated what you said so If there are no errors in what you copied it should be fine)
don't you have to balance out both sides of the equation? i could be wrong but wouldn't it be
2Fe(OH)^2 + H^2O^2 => 2Fe(OH)^3
oops..thanks for catching that Geometry. I was thinking of that and then I clicked the post button.
hah funny thing. i put geometry instead of my name cus geometry was my question but my names anna. =P but no problem
actually there shouldn't be superscripts (^)like you put it even though the numbers are correct (I just checked)
2Fe(OH)2 + H2O2=> 2Fe(OH)3
darn it it should be like this...
2Fe(OH)2 + H2O2=> 2Fe(OH)3
Christina, Hello I'm Lisa. Thank you for your help you provided for my chem assignment. I really appreciate it! Have a nice day!
Anna, Hello I'm Lisa. Thank you for providing some fedback on my posted question. I really appreciate it! Have a nice day!
your quite welcome Lisa
To determine the answer to your question, we need to translate the word equation into a chemical equation.
The word equation given is:
Iron(ll) hydroxide + hydrogen peroxide -> iron(lll) hydroxide
To translate this into a chemical equation, we need to represent the compounds using their chemical formulas.
The chemical formulas for the compounds you mentioned are:
Iron(ll) hydroxide -> Fe(OH)2
Hydrogen peroxide -> H2O2
Iron(lll) hydroxide -> Fe(OH)3
Therefore, the chemical equation representing the given word equation is:
Fe(OH)2 + H2O2 -> Fe(OH)3
