- Balanced Reaction-
3 Li2CO3 (aq) + 2 Fe(NO3)3 (aq) --> 6 LiNO3 (aq) + Fe2(CO3)3 (s)
- Procedure-
1) put on safety gear and prepare yourself for lab
2) take first compound (lithium carbonate) in test tube #1 and pour some into beaker #1
3) take second compound (iron nitrate) in test tube #2 and pour some into beaker #2
4) add water to iron nitrate, stir
5) take beaker #2 and pour into beaker #1, stir
6) observe any changes
7) record data
8) dispose of materials when finished
