If zinc pieces are added to yellow $FeCl_3$ solution,it turns to very light green. It is because

  • A
    $FeCl_3$ solution is acidic due to hydrolysis and zinc added produces nascent hydrogen causing reduction of $FeCl_3$ to $FeCl_2$
  • B
    $FeCl_3$ solution is basic and zinc added produces $H_2$ which reduces $FeCl_3$ to $FeCl_2$
  • C
    Zinc reduces $FeCl_3$ to $FeCl_2$
  • D
    None is correct
