Characteristic
Iron(III) chloride is the inorganic compound with the formula (FeCl3). Also called ferric chloride, it is a common compound of iron in the +3 oxidation state.
Chemical formula:FeCl3•6H2O
Molar mass:270.295 g/mol
Appearance:yellow solid
Odor:Slight HCl
Density:1.82 g/cm3
Melting point:37 °C (99 °F; 310 K)
Boiling point:280 °C (536 °F; 553 K)( decomposes)
Solubility in water:912 g/L (25 °C)
Solubility in Acetone:Methanol;Ethanol;Diethyl ether;630 g/L (18 °C)Highly soluble
830 g/L Highly soluble
Magnetic susceptibility (χ):+13,450·10−6 cm3/mol
Viscosity:12 cP (40% solution)
Crystal structure:Hexagonal, hR24
Application
Iron(III) chloride hexahydrate is used to prepare organically templated iron phosphates. It is used for sewerage treatment of industrial wastes, chloride hydrometallurgy (Silgarin process for the production of silicon), drinking water production, production of precursors for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and copper-based metals in printed circuit boards. It plays an important role in photoengraving and photography as an etching agent. It is useful as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles. It is useful in the detection of phenols and phenolic derivatives; gamma-hydroxybutyric acids and also in the Trinder spot test for detecting salicylic acids.
