No, ferric chloride is not neutral. It is an acidic compound.
Neutral ferric chloride appears as a dark green or brown solid.
To prepare a neutral ferric chloride solution from solid ferric chloride, first dissolve the solid ferric chloride in distilled water to form a concentrated solution. Then, slowly add a base such as sodium hydroxide solution while monitoring the pH using a pH meter until the desired neutral pH is reached. Finally, dilute the solution to the desired concentration with more distilled water if needed.
Salicylaldehyde will give a violet color with neutral ferric chloride.
When benzoic acid reacts with neutral ferric chloride, the resulting reaction forms a complex between the ferric chloride and benzoic acid. This complex is a purple-colored compound known as ferric benzoate, signifying the coordination of the iron ion with the carboxylic group of benzoic acid.
The recommended method for safely neutralizing ferric chloride is by using a ferric chloride neutralizer. This substance helps to safely and effectively neutralize the acidic properties of ferric chloride, making it less harmful to the environment and easier to dispose of.

The ferric chloride solution is acidic.
To prepare a neutral ferric chloride solution, dissolve ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl₃·6H₂O) in distilled water while stirring. Adjust the pH to around 7 using a dilute sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to neutralize any acidity. Ensure the solution remains clear and free of precipitates. Finally, dilute to the desired concentration with distilled water.

Ferric chloride is an ionic compound (and is classified as a salt).
Ferric sodium chloride (Na3ClFe) is a compound not a mixture.
Ferric chloride burns with a blue/green flame.
The ferric chloride test is used to detect the presence of phenolic compounds in a substance. It involves adding ferric chloride solution to the sample, and if phenolic compounds are present, a colored complex forms due to the formation of iron-phenol complexes. The intensity of the color change can be used to estimate the concentration of phenolic compounds in the sample.
