Bleeding due to a cut can be stopped by applying ferric chloride solution in the laboratory. This is due to

Options

  1. Acoagulation of negatively charged blood particles by Fe ³⁺ ions.
  2. Bcoagulation of positively charged blood particles by Cl ⁻ ions.
  3. Creaction taking place between ferric ions and the haemoglobin forming a complex.
  4. Dcommon element, iron, in both FeCl ₃ and haemoglobin.

Correct answer

A. coagulation of negatively charged blood particles by Fe ³⁺ ions.

Step-by-step solution

Bleeding due to a cut can be stopped by applying FeCl ₃ or alum solution. This is due to coagulation of negatively charged colloidal blood particles (albuminoid substance) by positively charged Fe ³⁺ ions. These substances are used as styptic (which check the flow of blood).
