Why is nascent hydrogen so active?

Nascent hydrogen is most powerful reducing agent than ordinary hydrogen because nascent hydrogen is in atomic state and atoms are more active than molecules, nascent hydrogen is evolved in small bubbles containing the gas under great pressure, nascent hydrogen is activated by the energy liberated in the reaction in .

Write the difference between Nascent hydrogen and atomic hydrogen.

Atomic Hydrogen vs Nascent Hydrogen
Atomic hydrogen refers to hydrogen obtained by dissociation of molecular hydrogen.	Nascent hydrogen refers to hydrogen that is liberated during a chemical reaction.
Application
Atomic hydrogen is an isolated form of hydrogen, which is highly reactive and energetic; it is a major component in the universe.	Nascent hydrogen is the initial atomic state of hydrogen that is formed during a chemical reaction.

What happens when hydrogen gas is bubbled into acidified FeCl3?

When hydrogen gas is bubbled into acidified FeCl₃solution, H₂gas does not produce any effects no ferric chloride solution. Thus No reaction takes place.
