I want to prepare a solution of FeCl2 + FeCl3 by dissolving Fe3O4 in HCl. However, my hot plate is broken and I'm wondering if I can prepare this solution without heating the mixture. If I do not heat the solution, is it possible that I will get a lower yield, or will the HCl still corrode Fe3O4 but slowly?
