FERRIC CHLORIDE AR ANHYDROUS
SKU: RXSOL-60-6604-584
Ferric Chloride is also called Iron(III) Chloride. It is soluble in water and alcohol and is non-combustible. When dissolved in water, ferric chloride undergoes hydrolysis and gives off heat in an exothermic reaction.
Application
The ferric chloride test is used to determine the presence of phenols (for instance natural phenols in a plant extract). Enols, hydroxamic acids, oximes, and sulfinic acids give positive results as well.
