H2O2 + 2 FeCl2 + 2 HCl → 2 FeCl3 + 2 H2O
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
2 O-I + 2 e- → 2 O-II (reduction)
2 FeII - 2 e- → 2 FeIII (oxidation)
H2O2 is an oxidizing agent, FeCl2 is a reducing agent.
Reactants:
- H2O2 – Hydrogen peroxide
- FeCl2 – Iron(II) chloride , Iron dichloride
- HCl – Chlorane , Hydrogen chloride
- Other names: Hydrochloric acid , M , Uriatic acid
- Appearance: Colorless, transparent liquid, fumes in air if concentrated ; Colorless gas ; Colourless compressed liquefied gas with pungent odour ; Colorless to slightly yellow gas with a pungent, irritating odor. [Note: Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas.]
