The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the yellow colored solution of `FeCl3` changing to light green, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial State**: - The yellow colored solution is due to the presence of ferric ions (Fe³⁺) in `FeCl3`. 2. **Identify the Target State**: - The light green color corresponds to ferrous ions (Fe²⁺) in `FeCl2`. 3. **Understand the Chemical Change**: - The change from yellow to light green indicates a reduction process where Fe³⁺ is being reduced to Fe²⁺. 4. **Identify Reducing Agents**: - To reduce Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺, a reducing agent is required. The options provided are: - SnCl₂ (Stannous chloride) - Zn (Zinc) - H₂S (Hydrogen sulfide) 5. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **SnCl₂**: This is a known reducing agent that can reduce Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺. - **Zn**: Zinc is also a reducing agent and can facilitate the reduction of Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺. - **H₂S**: Hydrogen sulfide can act as a reducing agent and can reduce Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺ as well. 6. **Conclusion**: - Since all three substances (SnCl₂, Zn, H₂S) can act as reducing agents to convert Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺, the correct answer is that the yellow solution of `FeCl3` changes to light green when any of these reducing agents are added. ### Final Answer: - The yellow colored solution of `FeCl3` changes to light green when SnCl₂, Zn, or H₂S is added. Therefore, the correct option is **all are true**. ---
