When 50.0 mL of a 1.00 M solution of Fe(NO₃)₃ are mixed with 50.0 mL of a 1.00 M solution of NaOH,a precipitate forms.What is the identity of the precipitate? Fe(NO₃)₃(aq)+ 3 NaOH(aq)→ Fe(OH)₃(s)+ 3 NaNO₃(aq) A)Fe(NO₃)₃ B)NaOH C)Fe(OH)₃ D)NaNO₃

The balanced equation shows that Fe(OH)3 is formed as a precipitate, while NaNO3 remains in solution. Therefore, the identity of the precipitate is Fe(OH)3, or iron(III) hydroxide. A and D are not correct choices because they are reactants that are present in the solutions before the reaction occurs. B is not correct because it is a reagent that is used in the reaction, but it does not form a precipitate.
