Why is `Fe(OH)_(3)` colloid positively charged when prepared by adding `FeCl_(3)` to hot water ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why `Fe(OH)_(3)` colloid is positively charged when prepared by adding `FeCl_(3)` to hot water, we can break down the process into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Dissolution of FeCl3**: When `FeCl3` is added to hot water, it dissolves and dissociates into its constituent ions: \[ FeCl_3 \rightarrow Fe^{3+} + 3Cl^{-} \] ...

  • Why is ferric hydroxide colloid positively charged when prepared by adding ferric chloride to hot water ?

    A
    Due to precipitation of ferric hydroxide there is an excess of `Fe^(3+)` ions.
    B
    Due to preferential adsorption of `Fe^(3+)` ions by the sol of `Fe(OH)_(3)`.
    C
    Due to absence of any negatively charged ion.
    D
    Due to adsorption of `OH^(-)` and `Cl^(-)` ions, the remaining sol has only `Fe^(4+)` ions.
