Which outcome is initiated by polarizing dissolved iron(III) chloride?

A)Hydrolysis of chloride ligand increases acidity
B)Ferric hydroxide precipitation passivates the surface
C)Hydrogen bond reorganization stabilizes pH
D)Ionic transport accelerates reaction kinetics

💡 Explanation

Hydrolysis occurs because of the ionic charge density, initiating a polarization of water molecules that bind to the iron center. This weakens the O-H bonds on surrounding ligands, therefore increasing hydronium concentration, rather than promoting precipitation under correct pH ranges.
