It is a test for presence of phenol. Fe itself is a transition metal that form a complex ions with phenol. Hence, the Fe can undergo d-d transition that give a colour which is purple in this case.
Take 1 ml FeCl3 solution. add ammonia solution drop wise till brown precipitate just form. Now again add FeCl3 solution till brown precipitate just dissolve. This is your Neutral FeCl3 solution.
Look up or calculate the molecular weight/molar mass of FeCl3. Then... 40.0 g FeCl3/MW FeCl3/0.275 L = M (concentration of FeCl3 in solution)
FeCl3 has the name iron III chloride
FeCl3 + H2O4-2 +Zn
why does salicylic acid give a positive test with FeCl3
the KCNS is tranparent when you mixed with the FeCl3 is like a violet
Take 1 ml FeCl3 solution. add ammonia solution drop wise till brown precipitate just form. Now again add FeCl3 solution till brown precipitate just dissolve. This is your Neutral FeCl3 solution.
The substitution reactions of phenol are easier than benzene, phenol directly reacts with bromine and gives tribromo phenol while benzene requires FeCl3 as a catalyst and gives mono bromo phenol.
You add a specific ionic compound in a solution to determine if phenol or any of its derivatives are present. Ferric chloride (FeCl3) for example, can be used for such tests. Basically, when you mix the solution with the compound, the ions will interact with the phenol molecules or groups, and as a result, the solution will briefly change color. If there is no colour change in the solution, this suggest there is no phenol or phenol-based molecules in your solution.
he balanced equation for the reaction involved is as follows: C10H12O2 + Br2 + H2O ---> C10H13O3Br + HBr. Some C10H12O2Br2 will form as well. Some C10H12O2Br2 will form as well. Is eugenol …
FeCl3 ? 1.1 grams FeCl3 (1 mole FeCl3/162.2 grams) = 0.0068 moles of FeCl3 ------------------------------------
Look up or calculate the molecular weight/molar mass of FeCl3. Then... 40.0 g FeCl3/MW FeCl3/0.275 L = M (concentration of FeCl3 in solution)
FeCl3 has the name iron III chloride
FeCl3 +KSCN + AgNO3
FeCl3 + H2O4-2 +Zn
No, pure FeCl3 is not aqueous.
