Question

Solution of $FeC{l}_3$ and $H_{2}O$ is :

• A. Basic
• B. Acidic
• C. Neutral
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Acidic

The reaction between ferric chloride ($FeC{l}_3$) and water is given by the following reaction,

$FeC{l}_3+H_{2}O\to Al(OH{)}_3+3HCl$

Since hydrochloric acid is one of the side product of the reaction so the solution will be acidic in nature.
