Ferrous Sulphate heptahydrate Extra Pure is a high-purity laboratory-grade chemical commonly used as a reliable source of ferrous ions (Fe²⁺) in analytical chemistry and educational experiments. With its vivid blue-green crystalline appearance, this compound plays a crucial role in redox reactions, qualitative analysis, and titration procedures. It is frequently utilized in the preparation of iron standards, as a reducing agent, and in experiments that demonstrate oxidation-reduction principles. Due to its high level of purity, it is well-suited for controlled laboratory environments where consistent and accurate results are essential. Proper storage in a cool, dry place is recommended, as the compound is prone to oxidation and moisture sensitivity.

Description

Ferrous Sulphate heptahydrate Extra Pure

Primary Uses

  1. Source of Fe²⁺ ions:
    Commonly used in analytical and inorganic chemistry experiments where ferrous (iron(II)) ions are required.
  2. Reagent in redox titrations:
    Acts as a reducing agent in permanganate and dichromate titrations for standardization or analysis of oxidizers.
  3. Precipitation reactions and qualitative analysis:
    Helps in identification and separation of anions and cations by forming precipitates with other compounds.
  4. Preparation of iron compounds:
    Used to synthesize other iron-based salts and coordination complexes in lab research.

Secondary Uses

  1. Demonstrations of oxidation states and color changes:
    Useful in teaching redox chemistry as Fe²⁺ readily oxidizes to Fe³⁺, showing distinct color changes.
  2. Nutrient in plant physiology experiments:
    Serves as an iron supplement in hydroponic and soil studies investigating micronutrient deficiencies.
  3. Simulated wastewater treatment studies:
    Applied in lab-scale research to evaluate the role of ferrous ions in phosphate removal or heavy metal precipitation.
  4. Corrosion experiments:
    Used to investigate rusting and oxidation of iron, especially in controlled electrochemical studies.
