Answer #1

Solution :-

the formula given is FeCl3.6H2O

the name for the formula is   Iron (lll) chloride hexahydrate.

hexahydrate means it contains 6 moles of water

we start writing the name with writing the name of the metal

the part which comes first in the name is the FeCl3 name that is iron (lll) chloride

and then 6H2O is written as hexahydrate

so the complete name is Iron (lll) chloride hexahydrate
