5 5. Solid iron (III) hydroxide, Fe(OH)3 (s), will dissolve in acidic solution. Explain why by answering the following questions. a) First, write the solubility equation for Fe(OH)3 (s). Remember that in solubility equation; we write the ionic solid as the reactant; water is above the equilibrium arrow, and the products are the ions formed when the solid dissolves. b) Next, explain how the addition of acid, H+, will affect this equilibrium. In other words, what will H* react with in the solubility equation. Does it remove reactant or product. Explain how it removes the substance with a chemical equation. c) Use Le Chatlier's principle to explain how the removal of the above substance affects the equilibria stated in part a.
