Emphatically no! Iron or steel will rapidly dissolve in hydrochloric acid generating hydrogen gas. Even stainless steel is not very good for containing hydrochloric acid. Chloride ions are highly corrosive and cause normal grades of stainless to pit and crack.

The best bet (besides avoiding it altogether) is glass (as it is stored in a laboratory) or plastic - PVC, polyethylene, or polypropylene.

Does iron and copper chloride solution react?

Yes, iron will react with copper chloride solution to form iron chloride and copper metal. This is a single displacement reaction where iron displaces copper from the chloride solution.


What happens when copper chloride is mixed with iron?

the iron turns into copper, this means it goes a redish colour. this is because iron is stronger than copper, so the iron takes over and bags the chloride for itself. which makes iron chloride. CuCo2 + Fe = FeCo2 + Cu CopperChloride + iron = IronChloride + Copper


What is produced with iron and copper II chloride?

When iron reacts with copper(II) chloride, iron chloride and copper are produced. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 2Fe + 3CuCl2 → 2FeCl3 + 3Cu


What happen when copper sulphate is stored in iron vessel?

Since iron is a more active metal than copper, the iron would replace the copper in the copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate, and releasing elemental copper. The copper will not shape itself into a copper vessel, so eventually, the iron sulfate would leak out of the iron vessel, and eventually, if there is enough copper sulfate, the iron vessel will cease to exist.


Can you store copper sulphate solution in silver vessel but not in aluminium vessel?

It is not possible to store copper sulphate solution in iron vessel.since ,iron is more reactive than copper,it displaces copper from any if its solution.the reaction takes place as , Fe(s)+CuSo4(aq)..............>FeSo4(aq)+Cu(s) (Blue color(light green solution)solution)


Why does the reaction of iron and copper chloride occur?

The reaction occurs because iron is more reactive then the copper is. The more reactive metal wants to create a compound, which is why it forms iron chloride. Copper, being the less reactive substance wants to become pure and separates from the chloride to be on its own.


What is the state symbol for copper chloride?

CuCl2


What happens if you put a copper bracelet in a solution of iron chloride?

When you put a copper bracelet in a solution of iron chloride, the iron in the iron chloride solution will displace the copper from the bracelet through a redox reaction, forming copper chloride solution and depositing iron on the bracelet's surface. This reaction demonstrates the principle of metal displacement reactions.


Which metal is best at reclaiming copper from the used copper chloride solution?

Iron is commonly used to reclaim copper from a used copper chloride solution through a displacement reaction. When iron is added to the solution, it reacts with the copper ions to form iron chloride and copper metal, allowing the copper to be easily recovered.


What metal can displace iron from iron chloride Zinc or iron or Copper?

Zinc can displace iron from iron chloride. This is because zinc is higher in the reactivity series than iron. Copper, however, cannot displace iron from iron chloride as it is lower in the reactivity series than iron.


What happens when a piece of copper is added to iron II chloride solution?

When a piece of copper is added to an iron II chloride solution, a single displacement reaction occurs where the copper displaces the iron in the compound. This results in the formation of copper II chloride and iron metal precipitate. The copper atoms give electrons to the iron II ions, causing them to become solid iron.


Decomposition of FeCl3 to FeCl2 where am i going wrong?

Iron(III) chloride can react with iron or copper and form iron (II) chloride.
