Question
The diagram given below is to prepare iron (III) chloride in the laboratory.
(i) What is substance B?
(ii) What is the purpose of B?
(iii)Why is iron (III) chloride to be stored in a closed container?
(iv) Write the equation for the reaction between iron and chloride ?

Solution
(i) Substance B is a dehydrating agent.
(ii) B prevents the entry of moisture inside the apparatus because it absorbs moisture.
(iii) Iron (III) chloride is stored in a closed container because it is a deliquescent compound.
(iv) \[\ce{2Fe + 3CI2->2FeCI3}\]
