A compound of iron exists as a dimer in vapour state. It is hygroscopic in nature and disolves in water giving brown acidic solution. The compound isA. `Fe_(3)O_(4)`B. `FeSO_(4)`C. `FeCl_(3)`D. `FeCl_(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
(3) `FeCl_(3)` exist as `Fe_(2)Cl_(6)` (a dimer) in vapour state. The solution is acidic due to the formation of HCl and brown due to the formation of ` Fe(OH)_(3)`.
