What do you observe when acetic acid is added to neutral ferric chloride solution
Dear student,
We used this test in the detection of acetic acid . First, acetic acid is dissolved in its own salts in aqueous medium. It is dissolved in ammonium hydroxide formed solution of pH-buffered above 7. The reaction as
Now, put that test tube in the warm bath where it loses ammonia vapours , now add the neutral ferric chloride then reaction as follows
The iron(III) acetate is formed and which is responsible for the colouration .
So, we can say that when acetic acid is dissolved in neutral ferric chloride solution it will forms iron(III) acetate and which is responsible for the colouration .
Regards
