The reaction which proceeds in the forward direction is.A. `SnCl_4+Hg_2Cl_2rarrSnCl_2+2HgCl_2`B. `2Cul+I_+4K^(+)rarr 2Cu^(2+)+4Kl`C. `NH_3+H_2O+NaClrarr NH_4Cl+NaOH`D. `Fe_2O_3+6HClrarr2FeCl_3+3H_2O`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Hydrated ferric chloride `(FeCl_3-6H_2O)` is obtained by the action of hydrochloride acid on ferric oxide.
(1) Stannous chloride is a powerful reducing agent. When an excess of stannous chloride solution is added to mercuric chloride solution, a white precipitate of mercurous chloride appears which slowly turns grey as further reduction to mercury occurs:
`SnCl_2+2HgCl_2rarrHg_2Cl_2darr+SnCl_4`
`Hg_2Cl_2+SnCl_2rarr2Hg_2darr+SnCl_4`
(2) Cuprous iodie is precipitated as a buff solid when potassium iodide solution is added to the solution of cupric ions (e.g. copper sulphate solution):
`2CuSO_4+2Klrarr2CuIdarr+I_2+2K_2SO_4`
This reaction is used for estimating copper salts volumetrically by titrating the liberated iodine with standard sodium thiosulphate solution.
(3) `NaOH` is a stronger base than `NH_3`, and thus, diplaces it from its salt:
`NH_4Cl+NaOHrarrNaCl+underset(NH_3+H_2O)underset(darr)(NH_4OH)`
