Question

iron on reaction with hcl form fecl2 and fecl3​

Answer 1

Answer:

Iron on reaction with HCl forms FeCl2 and not a FeCl3 as the hydrogen liberated during the process prevents the oxidation of ferrous chloride to ferric chloride. * Iron on reacting with HCl liberates hydrogen gas. This further reacts with oxygen present in the air to form water.
