Iron forms iron (II) chloride, `FeCl_2` and iron (III) chloride `FeCl_3`. One of these chlorides is a dark brown solid, melting point `306^@C`. The other is a white crystalline solid with greenish tint, melts at `674^@C` Which description best fits iron (II) chloride Explain.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which description best fits iron (II) chloride (FeCl₂) and to explain the reasoning, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the properties of iron (II) chloride (FeCl₂) and iron (III) chloride (FeCl₃). - Iron (II) chloride (FeCl₂) is commonly known as ferrous chloride. - Iron (III) chloride (FeCl₃) is commonly known as ferric chloride. ### Step 2: Analyze the given descriptions. - One chloride is described as a **dark brown solid** with a melting point of **306°C**. ...
