Does a precipitate form when iron (II) bromide and nickel (II) nitrate mix? If so, what is the empirical formula of the precipitate
Yes, a precipitate will form when iron (II) bromide (FeBr2) and nickel (II) nitrate (Ni(NO3)2) mix. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows:
FeBr2 + Ni(NO3)2 → Fe(NO3)2 + NiBr2
In the reaction, iron (II) bromide and nickel (II) nitrate will react to form iron (II) nitrate and nickel (II) bromide. The empirical formula of the precipitate formed, nickel (II) bromide, is NiBr2.
