FeCO3(s) + HNO3(aq) H2O(l) + CO2(g) + Fe(NO3)2 Step 2: Name the products The reaction initially produces carbonic acid and iron(II) nitrate. However, the carbonic acid decomposes to water and carbon dioxide. PROBLEM: Siderite is a mineral consisting largely of iron(II) carbonate. Write an overall, balanced equation for its reaction with nitric acid and name the products. Step 1: Write the overall reaction with products
