Answer 1

Answer on Question #60856, Chemistry / Inorganic Chemistry

Conditions: whwt happen, if zink mixed with acidic ferric chloride solution?

Solution: Acidic ferric chloride solution or FCl3 solutions is the solution that can provide low pH, because of strong cation hydrolysis:

$$2 \mathrm{FeCl3} + 3 \mathrm{H_2O} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe(OH)_3} + 6 \mathrm{HCl}$$

Or

$$\mathrm{FeCl3} + \mathrm{H_2O} \rightarrow \mathrm{FeCl(OH)_2} + 2 \mathrm{HCl}, \text{ with heating}$$

Here of the Zn ion reacts with formed HCl and form ZnCl2

$$\mathrm{Zn} + 2 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{ZnCl_2} + \mathrm{H_2}$$

Answer: As a result of mixing Zn with acidic ferric chloride solution the gas H2 is present and zinc chloride is forming.
