Iron(II) chloride, also known as ferrous chloride, is the chemical compound of formula FeCl 2.It is a paramagnetic solid with a high melting point. The compound is white, but typical samples are often off-white.
Iron(II) chloride tetrahydrate, FeCl 2 ·4H 2 O. In chemistry, iron(II) refers to the element iron in its +2 oxidation state. The adjective ferrous or the prefix ferro-is often used to specify such compounds, as in ferrous chloride for iron(II) chloride (FeCl 2). The adjective ferric is used instead for iron(III) salts, containing the cation Fe 3+.

In terms of its being an oxidant, iron(III) chloride oxidizes iron powder to form iron(II) chloride via a comproportionation reaction: [10] 2 FeCl 3 + Fe → 3 FeCl 2. A traditional synthesis of anhydrous ferrous chloride is the reduction of FeCl 3 with chlorobenzene: [25] 2 FeCl 3 + C 6 H 5 Cl → 2 FeCl 2 + C 6 H 4 Cl 2 + HCl
Iron(II) acetate describes compounds with formula Fe(CH 3 CO 2) 2 ·(H 2 O) x where x can be 0 (anhydrous) or 4 (tetrahydrate). The anhydrous compound is a white solid, although impure samples can be slightly colored. [1] The tetrahydrate is light green solid that is highly soluble in water.
Like other iron(II) salts, iron(II) sulfate is a reducing agent. For example, it reduces nitric acid to nitrogen monoxide and chlorine to chloride: 6 FeSO 4 + 3 H 2 SO 4 + 2 HNO 3 → 3 Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 + 4 H 2 O + 2 NO 6 FeSO 4 + 3 Cl 2 → 2 Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 + 2 FeCl 3. Its mild reducing power is of value in organic synthesis. [44]
