The free radicals generated by this process engage in secondary reactions. For example, the hydroxyl is a powerful, non-selective oxidant. [6] Oxidation of an organic compound by Fenton's reagent is rapid and exothermic and results in the oxidation of contaminants to primarily carbon dioxide and water.
Like other iron(II) salts, iron(II) sulfate is a reducing agent. For example, it reduces nitric acid to nitrogen monoxide and chlorine to chloride: 6 FeSO 4 + 3 H 2 SO 4 + 2 HNO 3 → 3 Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 + 4 H 2 O + 2 NO 6 FeSO 4 + 3 Cl 2 → 2 Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 + 2 FeCl 3. Its mild reducing power is of value in organic synthesis. [44]
Chemical decomposition, or chemical breakdown, is the process or effect of simplifying a single chemical entity (normal molecule, reaction intermediate, etc.) into two or more fragments. [1] Chemical decomposition is usually regarded and defined as the exact opposite of chemical synthesis. In short, the chemical reaction in which two or more ...
The formation of Fe(III)-EDTA (FeY) − can be described as follows: FeSO 4 ∙7H 2 O + K 2 H 2 Y + 1/4 O 2 → K[FeY(H 2 O)]. H 2 O + KHSO 4 + 5.5 H 2 O (1) [8]. Iron chelate has also been used as a bait in the chemical control of slugs, snails and slaters in agriculture in Australia and New Zealand.
Iron sulfates occur as a variety of rare commercially unimportant minerals. The mineralogical form of iron(III) sulfate, Mikasaite, is a mixed iron-aluminium sulfate with the chemical formula (Fe 3+, Al 3+) 2 (SO 4) 3 [6]. This anhydrous form occurs very rarely and is connected with coal fires.
Ammonium iron(II) sulfate, or Mohr's salt, is the inorganic compound with the formula (NH 4) 2 SO 4 ·Fe(SO 4)·6H 2 O.Containing two different cations, Fe 2+ and NH + 4, it is classified as a double salt of ferrous sulfate and ammonium sulfate.
This reaction can be used to remove potassium hexacyanidoferrate(II) from a solution. [citation needed] A famous reaction involves treatment with ferric salts, most commonly Iron(III) chloride, to give Prussian blue. In the reaction with Iron(III) chloride, producing Potassium chloride as a side-product:
The sodium fusion extract is made alkaline by adding NaOH.To this mixture, freshly prepared FeSO 4 solution is added and boiled for some time and then cooled. A few drops of FeCl 3 are added and Prussian blue (bluish green) color forms due to formation of ferric ferrocyanide along with NaCl.
