Iron(II) chloride, also known as Ferrous chloride, is a significant chemical compound characterized by the presence of iron and chlorine. It serves as a key chemical employed in numerous processes, including water and wastewater treatment. Within the laboratory setting, Iron(II) chloride finds application in the synthesis of both organic and inorganic compounds. Additionally, it plays a role in metal analysis, aiding in the examination of metallic elements. Central to the properties of Iron(II) chloride is its capacity as an oxidizing agent. Through this mechanism of action, it readily engages with other molecules, catalyzing oxidation reactions. This transformative ability enables it to oxidize organic compounds, such as alcohols, generating aldehydes and ketones as products. Furthermore, it exhibits the capability to oxidize inorganic substances, such as iron oxide.
