Product Description
Ferric chloride
Ferric chloride is a covalent inorganic compound, chemical formula FeCl3. It is a dark brown crystal with a melting point of 306 ºC and a boiling point of 316 ºC [1]. It is easily soluble in water and has strong water absorption. It can absorb water in the air and deliquescence. When FeCl3 is separated from aqueous solution, six crystal water is FeCl3 · 6H2O, and ferric chloride hexahydrate is orange crystal. Ferric chloride is a very important iron salt.
