i dont know if this is a stupid question but i havent seen g chem in so long and its killin me (ive been gettin 12's on practice exams)
neways why do FeCl3 and AlCl3 form an acidic solution
i know that
Fe3+ Cl- + h2o----> Fe3+ + HCl + OH- right?
i know that HCl is acidic and OH- is basic so wouldnt the solution be neutral, but i gues im wrong because it says that it will form an acidic solution
please explain
