FeCl3 is better than NaCl to cause coagulation of blood. Bleeding stops when alum and ferric chloride solution is applied to a bleeding part.

Approved Tutor Answer9 Years agoIn short-FeCl3 forms a complex on contact with the skin and thus causes coagulation thus clotting the blood.
The coagulating power of an electrolyte is directly proportional to its valency and since valency of Fe3+(three) is high so it helps in forming the clot more effectively than any other compund like KCl.
Do approve my answer if you found it useful.
