Product Information
- Iron(III) chloride hexahydrate
Ferric chloride hexahydrate is a chemical compound that has the formula FeCl3·6H2O. It is composed of iron, chlorine, and water. Ferric chloride hexahydrate is used in wastewater treatment to remove organic compounds from the water. Ferric chloride hexahydrate reacts with sodium carbonate to form sodium citrate and ferrous chloride: FeCl3 + Na2CO3 → Fe(CO)2 + NaCl + 3H2O The reaction between ferric chloride hexahydrate and potassium dichromate produces the following products: FeCl3 + K2CrO4 → FeCrO4 + 2KCl In addition, ferric chloride hexahydrate can be used as an oxidizing agent in organic synthesis. The reaction mechanism for this process occurs when ferric chloride hexahydrate is mixed with a fatty acid such as octanoic acid: FeCl3 + C8H18
