    Iron Nitrate: Salt or Acid? Chemical Properties & Formation
    Iron nitrate is a salt. Here's why:

    * Salts are ionic compounds formed by the reaction of an acid and a base.

    * Iron nitrate is formed by the reaction of nitric acid (HNO₃, an acid) and iron hydroxide (Fe(OH)₃, a base).

    The chemical formula for iron nitrate is Fe(NO₃)₃. It consists of iron ions (Fe³⁺) and nitrate ions (NO₃⁻).
