Distilled water + solid ammonium iron (II) sulphate + sodium hydroxide reaction

Is this the right balanced equation?
(NH4)2Fe(SO4)2*6H2O + 4NaOH → 2 Na2SO4 + 2 NH3 + Fe(OH)2 + 8 H2O

Mostly yes. Water of hydration is not involved in the reaction.

Code: Select all

(NH4)2Fe(SO4)2 + 4NaOH = 2 Na2SO4 + 2 NH3 + Fe(OH)2 + 2 H2O
