transition metals

suggest with reasons which of 0.1 mol dm-3 aqueous solutions of [Fe(H20)6]2+ and [Fe(H20)6]3+ would be more acidic?

anyone??

[Fe(H20)6]3+

smaller size, higher nuclear charge --> higher charge density --> higher polarising power --> induce greater partial positive charge on the H atom of the H2O ligand --> ionize more easily

sorry, should be higher charge
the nuclear charge is the same
