Iron(2+) sulfate hydrate (1:1:1)(CAS: 13463-43-9)

Iron(2+) sulfate hydrate (1:1:1) is a crystalline compound with a molecular weight of approximately 278.02 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water and highly insoluble in organic solvents. This compound is reactive towards acids and bases. It has a characteristic pale green color due to the hydrated iron(2+) ion.

Iron(2+) sulfate hydrate (1:1:1) can be synthesized by dissolving iron(II) sulfate in an appropriate amount of water and then adding an appropriate amount of water to form the 1:1:1 hydrate. Common methods involve the slow addition of iron(II) sulfate to water with continuous stirring to achieve the desired hydration.

Iron(2+) sulfate hydrate (1:1:1) is used in various industries. It is a key component in the production of iron(II) complexes and is used in pharmaceuticals for certain iron deficiencies, in polymers for stabilizers, and in sensors for detection purposes. It also finds applications in the semiconductor industry as a dopant.

When handling Iron(2+) sulfate hydrate (1:1:1), safety goggles and gloves are recommended. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In case of a spill, it should be cleaned up immediately with appropriate absorbent materials. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed guidelines on handling and disposal.
