What is the charge on Fe ion in the ionic compound FeCl3?

Answer 1

Iron (II) chloride has the molecular formula of FeCl2. Iron (III) chloride is FeCl3. The difference between the two are the oxidation states of iron (Fe) between +2 and +3 respectively. Chlorine (Cl) has an anion charge of -1.

Answer 2

Fe2, properly identified as Fe (II), is the iron ion in which an iron atom has lost two electrons, forming a 2+ ion. Fe3, properly identified as Fe (III), is the iron ion in which an iron atom has lost three electrons, forming a 3+ ion.

Answer 3

Ferric Chloride is FeCl3 and Ferrous Chloride is FeCl2. Ferric Chloride contains Iron+3 and Ferrous Chloride contains Iron+2. Ferric Chloride may react with pure Iron and create ferrous chloride. Commonly found in PCB etchant, Ferric Chloride solution will change from a dark brown when mixed with iron (steel wool) and distilled water and become black. Once settled, the top layer of the solution will be ferrous chloride and water (a transparent green color), whereas the bottom will be the remaining iron (the black). As for their properties, I don't know, but I hope you found what you were looking for

Answer 4

The ions that make up FeCl3 are one Fe3+ion and three Cl- ions. This compound is called ferric chloride or iron(III) chloride and is used for many things such as sewage treatments and Friedel-Crafts reactions with aromatic compounds.

Answer 5

The element iron has 26 electrons. When it forms Fe3+ to form FeCl3 there are only 23 electrons.

*The Answer is 23*

Answer 6

Iron(II) compounds contain ions with 2 positive charges, iron(III) ions have 3 positive charges.

Answer 7

Iron(II) has lost 2 valence electrons and iron(III) has lost 3 valence electrons.

Answer 8

+3
