About This Product
Ferric sulphate is used to prepare iron(III) sulphate solutions for chemistry practicals and in analysis methods that specify it. It suits teaching on ferric ions, sulphate salts, hydrolysis and inorganic salt behaviour. When the reagent is hydrated, the water of crystallisation is allowed for during weighing. Teachers and technicians dispense it with a clean, dry spatula while wearing goggles, gloves and a lab coat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the chemical formula of ferric sulphate?
The anhydrous formula is Fe2(SO4)3, also written as Fe2O12S3. Hydrated material also contains water of crystallisation, which raises its molecular weight.
