Question

What happens when hydrazine is treated with Ferric chloride?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hydrazine acts as a reducing agent. Reducing agents such as hydrazine convert iron(III) chloride to complexes of iron(II).

2 FeCl₃ +  Fe  →   3 FeCl₂  

The hydrazine molecules do next explicitly react with FeCl₃ but hydrazine does acts as a catalytic reduction agent.

This reaction is used for industrial purposes to produce ferrous chloride from ferric chloride due to the efficiency of the process and the rate at which takes place.
