Question

The precipitate formed when ammonium hydroxide is added to $FeC{l}_3$ is of :

• A. Iron (II) hydroxide
• B. Iron (III) hydroxide
• C. Iron (II) oxide
• D. Iron (III) oxide

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Iron (III) hydroxide

When ammonium hydroxide is added to $FeC{l}_3$, Iron(III) hydroxide is precipitated:

$FeC{l}_3+3N{H}_{4}OH$$\to$$3N{H}_{4}Cl+Fe\left(OH{)}_3\right(\downarrow )$
