It's a salt. It's also weakly acidic, since it's the salt of a very strong acid and a weak base.

Yes, it is a Lewis acid. To determine whether a salt is acidic or basic, try the following.1. Figure out which acid and base would make the salt (in this case Fe(OH)3 and HCl).2. Whichever of the acid or base is the stronger is what the salt will be. In this case, HCl is a strong acid, iron(III) hydroxide is a weak base, so the salt is acidic.
Nitric acid: HNO3
Since Fe+ is more reactive than H+, I would guess that it is slightly acidic, but let me look that up for you... Yep. It will react with water to form a solution of a strong acid, hydrobromic acid, and a pretty weak base, iron(III) hydroxide (Which is actually weak because it forms FeO(OH).H2O, iron(III) oxide hydroxide hydrate.)
It is a Bronsted-Lowery base because the carbonyl oxygens will readily accept a proton.
An acid can turn into a base if you mix a much stronger base with it! That way the base acid overpowers the acid and makes the acid a base!

It is a base It is a base It is a base
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
Iron Oxide is Fe[2]O[3] and Nitric acid is HNO[3]
Flour is a base, not an acid.
It is a Base.
The base which a certain acid turns into.Every acid had a conjugate base:HX (acid) X- (conjugate base)The acid is also called the base's conjugate acid.
Its a acid base simply acid ;)
