What happens when iron III chloride is mixed with ammonia?

Answer 1

Let's see.

FeCl3 + H3PO4 -> FePO4 + 3HCl

Looks like a double displacement with iron(III)phosphate and hydrochloric acid as products. Idealized, perhaps. I do not know if correct in nature.

Answer 2

ferric chloride (FeCl3) forms a colourless complex ion ([Fe(H2O)6]3+) in water, but in the presence of the thiocyanate ion it forms the bright red ferric thiocyanate complex:

[Fe(H2O)6]3+ + SCN- → [Fe(H2O)5(SCN)]2+ + H2O

Answer 3

Well, I think the sodium ion will react with the thiocyanate ion somehow, but other than that, I'm not sure. In Fe(III)NO3 the Iron is the reactive component when forming the blood-red complex ion. It binds directly to the SCN- part of the thiocyanate ion.

Answer 4

When iron(III) chloride is mixed with ammonia, a dark green precipitate of iron(III) hydroxide is formed. This reaction occurs due to the formation of complex ions involving ammonia and iron in solution. The ammonia acts as a ligand, coordinating to the iron ion to form the precipitate.

Answer 6

Test for iron(III) If [SCN]− is added to a solution containing iron(III) ions (Fe3+), a blood red solution is formed due to the presence of the [Fe(NCS)(H2O)5]2+.

Answer 7

The chemical equation is:
FeCl3 + 3 KSCN-------------Fe(SCN)3 + 3 KCl

Answer 8

reddish brown precipitate formed
