The compound iron chloride can exist with either iron(II) ions or iron(III) ions. Conduct Internet research to learn about the differences between iron(II) chloride and iron(III) chloride. Give the chemical formula for each compound. Describe their appearance and uses. Based on your findings, are these two forms of the same compound, or are they two completely different compounds?

Iron III chloride is FeCl3

Iron II chloride is FeCl2

Explanation:

One can distinguish between iron III chloride and Iron II chloride by the appearance of the two substances. These two substances are different compounds. iron III chloride will appear dark green or purple-red depending on the viewing angle. Iron II chloride will appear white.

When Iron II chloride is dissolved in water and sodium hydroxide is added, a dirty green precipitate is obtained. When iron III chloride is dissolved in water and sodium hydroxide is added, a reddish-brown precipitate his obtained.

the answer is minerals.
