Conversion of Ferric chloride to ferrous chloride?
Dissolving more iron in a solution of ferric chloride yields green ferrous chloride.2 FeCl3 + Fe ----> 3 FeCl2
What is the name of the compound FeCl2?
Iron(III) Chloride / Ferric Chloride / Iron Trichloride
What is the composition of ferric chloride?
Ferric chloride contains the elements iron and chlorine.
Is Ferrous chloride and ferric chloride same?
No, they have different formulas and have iron in different oxidation states. Ferrous chloride or Iron II chloride has the Fe2+ ion and the formula FeCl2 Ferric chloride or Iron III chloride has the Fe3+ ion and the formula FeCl3
Is iron chloride a solid?
Iron(II) chloride or ferrous chloride as well as iron(III) chloride or ferric chloride are both solids.
What different atoms are in iron chloride?
Iron(Fe) and chlorine(Cl) Ferric Chloride - FeCl3 Ferrous Chloride - FeCl2

What is FeCl3 stand for?
Iron Chloride. It is also called Ferric Chloride.
How is ferric Chloride made?
ferrous (iron atoms) give electrons to chlorine atoms 2 Fe(s) + 3 Cl2(g) → 2 FeCl3(s)
Is iron chloride a solid?
Iron(II) chloride or ferrous chloride as well as iron(III) chloride or ferric chloride are both solids.
What is the compound name for Cl?
There is iron (II) chloride (ferrous chloride, iron dichloride). There is also iron (III) chloride (ferric chloride, iron trichloride).
What is the correct balanced equation for iron oxide?
As a matter of fact, there are two types of 'iron' : Ferrous(Fe2+) and Ferric(Fe3+)You should say either Ferric Oxide(Fe2O3) or Ferrous Oxide(FeO).Ferric Oxide balanced equation : 4Fe + 3O2 ===> 2Fe2O3Ferrous Oxide balanced equation : 2Fe + O2 ===> 2FeO
How do you prepare ferric chloride solution?
Send chlorine gas through iron fillings and dissolve the resultant substance in water. The solution is ferric chloride.
What is the chemical formula for iron and chlorine?
The chemical symbol for iron is Fe, and the symbol for chlorine is Cl. If you meant when they are combined, there are two possibilities: FeCl2 for ferrous chloride or FeCl3 for ferric chloride.
