Laboratory Ferrous Sulphate Green Crystal
Product Code : SCL-CA-12673
Quick Answer: The Laboratory Ferrous Sulphate Green Crystal is an iron(II) salt in green crystalline form, used to prepare iron(II) solutions, demonstrate oxidation of iron(II) to iron(III) and carry out qualitative salt analysis.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Iron(II) sulphate, traditionally called green vitriol
- Green to blue-green crystalline solid
- Provides ferrous ions for approved reactions and tests
- Shows oxidation of iron(II) to iron(III) in redox studies
- Supports work on crystal colour, hydration, solubility and precipitation
About This Product
The crystals let students observe crystal colour before dissolving them to study ionic reactions. Because the hydration state affects the mass needed, it is checked on the label before quantities are calculated. Solutions are prepared only as the approved procedure directs and labelled with identity, concentration and date. Gloves and eye protection are worn, as the salt may be harmful if swallowed and can irritate skin and eyes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why does the hydration state matter?
Ferrous sulphate can contain water of crystallisation, so the mass needed for a given solution depends on the form. The label is checked before quantities are calculated.
