← ScienceWhich outcome is initiated by polarizing dissolved iron(III) chloride?
A)Hydrolysis of chloride ligand increases acidity✓
B)Ferric hydroxide precipitation passivates the surface
C)Hydrogen bond reorganization stabilizes pH
D)Ionic transport accelerates reaction kinetics
💡 Explanation
Hydrolysis occurs because of the ionic charge density, initiating a polarization of water molecules that bind to the iron center. This weakens the O-H bonds on surrounding ligands, therefore increasing hydronium concentration, rather than promoting precipitation under correct pH ranges.
