    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 and weak base in the solution.                 \[FeC{{l}_{3}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  weak \\  base \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Fe{{(OH)}_{3}}}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  strong \\  acid \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{3HCl}}\,\]   Hence, solution is acidic in nature.
