heya!
here is your answer..
This is because the valency of iron in ferric chloride is 3+, whereas that of potassium in KCl is 1+. The higher the valency, the better is the coagulation efficiency of the compound. Also, ferric chloride is more compatible with skin than KCl. Thus, FeCl3does not cause any irritation when applied over wound.

Answer:
As we can see the valency of ferric ion is greater than potassium ion. Valency is directly proportional to the coagulation efficiency, which means it has high coagulant properties. That is why ferric chloride is preferred over potassium chloride to prevent bleeding.
