PLEASE HELP!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!

It reacts because iron(III) carbonate is insoluble, so a double displacement reaction takes place.
iron (III) Acetate + sodium carbonate ---> sodium acetate + iron(III) carbonate
2Fe3+(aq) + 3CO3 2-(aq) ----> Fe2(CO3)3
iron (III) Acetate + sodium carbonate ---> sodium acetate + iron(III) carbonate
2Fe3+(aq) + 3CO3 2-(aq) ----> Fe2(CO3)3
