Answer:
I don't see a specific question, so I'll make a few comments and hope that answers the reason for the post.
Explanation:
Zinc(Zn) does react with iron chloride, since zinc is a more reactive metal than the iron.
When Zn is introduced to an iron (III) chloride solution, the Zn disoplaces the Fe atom in a displacement reaction.
The chemical equation of the reaction:
Zn + Fe(III)Cl3 → ZnCl3 + Fe
Energy is often realeased in this type of reaction, since the resulting chemical products have a lower energy that the reactants.
There are several metals more reactive than iron. One of the more interesting examples of a highly exothermic reaction with iron chloride (rust) is the reaction of aluminum with iron chloride. `This is highly exothermic and is labelled a thermite reaction. It provides a spectacular flame that is not enough to weld railroad tracks together.
