Colour Tests With Ferric Chloride
A neutral ferric chloride solution turns violet with phenol, the usual test for a phenolic OH group, and deep red with a neutral acetate solution. In salt analysis the Fe3+ ion is confirmed with potassium ferrocyanide, which gives Prussian blue, and with thiocyanate, which gives a blood-red colour.
Catalyst for Chlorinating Benzene
The anhydrous salt is the form used as a Lewis acid catalyst when benzene is chlorinated to chlorobenzene. It accepts an electron pair from a chlorine molecule and polarises it, so the positive end can attack the benzene ring.
Reagents Used Alongside It
- Phenol — gives the violet colour with neutral ferric chloride.
- Potassium Ferrocyanide — forms Prussian blue with iron(III) ions.
- Sodium Thiocyanate — gives the blood-red test colour with iron(III).
