When Fe(NO3)3 is dissolved in water, hexaaquiron(III) ions, Fe(H2O)6 3+, forms. Fe(H2O)6 3+ ions hydrolyze in aquesous solution accoring to the equation given below.
Fe(H2O)6 3+ +H2O --> [Fe(H2O)5(OH)]2+ + H30+
How would the the addition of 0.0500 M nitric acid to the solution affect the equilibrium constant for the reaction? Explain
