What is the nature of aqueous solution of FeCl3?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The solution of ferric chloride is acidic in nature.
The aqueous solution of FeCl3 salt undergoes hydrolysis and forms HCl.
FeCl3 → Fe3+ + 3e-
H+ + Cl- → HCl
This strong acid releases H+ ions in the solution results in acidic solution and turns blue litmus red.
