Question

Ferric chloride solution is:

• A. basic
• B. acidic
• C. neutral
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B acidic

$FeC{l}_3$ is formed when the salts of strong acids and weak bases hydrolyse in water thus giving an acidic solution.

Here, $HCl$ is a strong acid and $Fe(OH{)}_3$ is a weak base.

Hence, option $B$ is correct.
