Is FeBr3 a base or an acid?

Answer 1

Acidic

Answer 2

Since Fe+ is more reactive than H+, I would guess that it is slightly acidic, but let me look that up for you... Yep. It will react with water to form a solution of a strong acid, hydrobromic acid, and a pretty weak base, iron(III) hydroxide (Which is actually weak because it forms FeO(OH).H2O, iron(III) oxide hydroxide hydrate.)

Answer 3

FeCl3 is a Lewis acid. This is because it can accept an electron pair from a Lewis base. It is considered to be a weak base.

Answer 4

FeCO3, or iron (II) carbonate, is a base. The carbonate ion (CO32-) is a moderately strong base.

Answer 5

FeCl3 can be considered as a salt of Fe(OH)3 (a weak base) and HCl (a strong acid). Hence a solution of FeCl3 will be weakly acidic.

Answer 6

Moderately strong Lewis acid, can create FeCl4- ions.

Answer 7

FeBr3 is neither a base nor an acid. It is a salt, specifically an iron(III) bromide compound.

Answer 8

neither
