Iron Solubility

In summary, the chemical formula for Iron (iii) Carbonate is Fe2(CO3)3. It is not soluble in water and is affected by factors such as temperature, pH level, and the presence of other substances in the solution. Iron (iii) Carbonate appears as a grayish-white solid or powder and is commonly used as a pigment in paints and dyes, as a catalyst in chemical reactions, and in the production of iron oxides and other iron compounds.
