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

    A)  hydrolysis of \[\text{FeC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{3}}}\]

    B)  acidic impurities

    C)  dissociation

    D)  ionization

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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