Fe(NO3)3 (ag) + K,S (aq)

Expert Solution

Step 1

All salts of nitrate and potassium are water soluble as the due to size mismatch between the ions they easily break into their ions so the heat of hydration is low

Now when iron nitrate is mixed with potassium sulphide then a double decomposition reaction will occur

Double decomposition reaction are those where the cation of one salt will reacts with anion of another salt similarly the anion one salt will react with the cation of the other salt so we see exchange of ions takes place
