Solution

\[\ce{FeCl3}\] when added into hot water, it forms hydrated ferric oxide, which is a positively charged sol due to absorption of \[\ce{Fe^{3+}}\] ions. On adding \[\ce{NaCl}\] the negatively charged chloride ions neutralize the positive charge of the solution and coagulation of the sol takes place.
