Iron(III) carbonate does not exist as such, but if it did it, it would decompose very easily to iron(III) oxide and carbon dioxide. I'll leave the rest to you.
 
Iron(II) ammonium sulphate-6-water contains iron(II) ions, ammonium ions, and sulphate ions. I'll leave the rest to you!

Risk assessment
Before attempting any practical work based on the advice and suggestions on this website, you must do the following. Identify any hazards, assess the risks from these hazards, and then decide appropriate control measures to reduce the risks. You must have these approved by those in authority in your school or college laboratory. Do not rely on what is said on this website. For further guidance see our tutorial on Risk Assessment.
