Question

Reddish brown colouration when neutral ${FeCl}_3$ is added to the ${CH}_3{COO}^{-}$ aqueous solution is due to the formation of $\left[{Fe}_3\right(OH{)}_2({CH}_{3}COO{)}_6{]}^{+}$ .

If the given statement is true enter 1 else enter 0.

Answer 1

Reddish brown colouration when neutral ${FeCl}_3$ is added to the ${CH}_3{COO}^{-}$ aqueous solution is due to the formation of $\left[{Fe}_3\right(OH{)}_2({CH}_{3}COO{)}_6{]}^{+}$.
$3FeC{l}_3+6C{H}_{3}COOH+2H_{2}O+H^{+}\to \left[{Fe}_3\right(OH{)}_2({CH}_{3}COO{)}_6{]}^{+}+9HCl$
