    A solution of \[FeC{{l}_{3}}\] in water acts as acidic solution due to :

    A)  hydrolysis of \[F{{e}^{3+}}\]

    B)  acidic impurities

    C)  dissociation

    D)  ionization

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[FeC{{l}_{3}}\], on hydrolysis gives acidic solution due to the presence of strong acid \[(HCl)\] and weak base \[(Fe{{(OH)}_{3}}\] in the solution.                 \[FeC{{l}_{3}}\xrightarrow{3{{H}_{2}}O}\underset{weak\text{ }base}{\mathop{Fe{{(OH)}_{3}}}}\,\,\,+\underset{strong\text{ }acid}{\mathop{3HCl}}\,\] Hence, solution is acidic.
