Ferric chloride is applied to stop bleeding because:
Blood absorbs \( \mathrm{FeCl_3} \) and forms a complex
\( \mathrm{Fe^{3+}} \) ions coagulate blood which is a negatively charged sol.
\( \mathrm{FeCl_3} \) reacts with the constituents of blood which is a positively charged sol.
\( \mathrm{Cl^-} \) ions cause coagulation of blood
