because Fe+3 in FeCl3 has more charge so it is better than K+1 in KCl so it does coagulation powerfully.... if you got that plz hit thanx byee

Fecl3 according to hardy Schultz rule fosters an fe ( 3+ ) cation and hence is better than K+ catiin to coagulate blood which is a colloid leading to formation of an insoluble complex which forms the clot restricting any further blood loss.

As Blood is a negative colloid and we know that only opposite charge is responsible for the caogulation so in this case our effective ion will be either K+ or Fe3+. DO NOT CONSIDER Cl-.

Now Apply the hardy Rule and you will get Fe3+ as the answer.

Blood is a positively charged sol.1 mole FeCl3 provides 3 moles Chloride ions whereas 1 mole NaCl provides only 1 mole chloride ions therefore FeCl3 coagulates blood more effectively than NaCl
