In this equation is Fe(OH)3 and NaCL a solid liquid gas or aqueous?

FeCl3 (aq) + 3NaOH(aq)=Fe(OH)3+NaCl

1 answer

You know NaCl(table salt) will dissolve in water. Since both FeCl3 and NaOH are listed as aq, water must be present; therefore, NaCl will be aq also. Fe(OH)3 is not soluble in water so it is listed as a solid.
