About Ferric Chloride ACS Grade
Ferric Chloride, also known as Ferric Chloride Hydrate and Iron(III) Chloride Hexahydrate,
usually appears as hexahydrate form of iron trichloride having the chemical formula Cl3Fe-6H2O
or Cl3FeH12O6. It possesses slight iron acid odor and appears as dark yellow odorless hygroscopic
crystals, powder, or lumps at room temperature. It is soluble in Water, Alcohol, Glycerol,
Methanol, and Ether at ambient conditions. It can undergo thermal decomposition to emit corrosive
and/or toxic fumes of Hydrogen Chloride gas, Chlorine, and Metal oxides. An ACS Grade reagent
is a chemical that meets the purity requirements of the American Chemical Society. For
dependable, consistent, and repeatable findings, ACS Grade reagents can be utilized in high-
quality research labs.
