Ferric acetate is the iron compound with the formula Fe 3 O(O 2 CCH 3) 6 (H 2 O) 3]O 2 CCH 3. This red brown solid is the acetate salt of the coordination complex [Fe 3 O(OAc) 6 (H 2 O) 3] + (OAc − is CH 3 CO 2 −). Commonly, the salt is known as "basic iron acetate". [2] The formation of the red-brown complex was once used as a test for ...
Color code: red = O, blue = Fe, gray = C, white = H. Iron powder reacts with acetic acid to give the ferrous acetate, with evolution of hydrogen gas: [5] [1] Fe + 2 CH 3 CO 2 H → Fe(CH 3 CO 2) 2 + H 2. Reaction of scrap iron with acetic acid affords a brown mixture of various iron(II) and iron(III) acetates that are used in dyeing. [6]
Potassium ferrioxalate contains the iron(III) complex [Fe(C 2 O 4) 3] 3−. In chemistry, iron(III) or ferric refers to the element iron in its +3 oxidation state. Ferric chloride is an alternative name for iron(III) chloride (FeCl 3). The adjective ferrous is used instead for iron(II) salts, containing the cation Fe 2+.
K 2 CO 3; Pearlash – formed by baking potash in a kiln. Milk of sulfur (lac sulphuris) – formed by adding an acid to thion hudor (lime sulfur). Natron/soda ash/soda – sodium carbonate. Na 2 CO 3; Nitrum flammans – ammonium nitrate. Sugar of lead – lead(II) acetate, formed by dissolving lead oxide in vinegar.
The acetate anion, [CH 3 COO] −,(or [C 2 H 3 O 2] −) is one of the carboxylate family. It is the conjugate base of acetic acid. Above a pH of 5.5, acetic acid converts to acetate: [1] CH 3 COOH ⇌ CH 3 COO − + H + Many acetate salts are ionic, indicated by their tendency to dissolve well in water.

Iron(II) complexes are less stable than iron(III) complexes but the preference for O-donor ligands is less marked, so that for example [Fe(NH 3) 6] 2+ is known while [Fe(NH 3) 6] 3+ is not. They have a tendency to be oxidized to iron(III) but this can be moderated by low pH and the specific ligands used.
When Fe 2 O 3 ·H 2 O is heated, it loses its water of hydration. Further heating at 1670 K converts Fe 2 O 3 to black Fe 3 O 4 (Fe II Fe III 2 O 4), which is known as the mineral magnetite. Fe(O)OH is soluble in acids, giving [Fe(H 2 O) 6] 3+. In concentrated aqueous alkali, Fe 2 O 3 gives [Fe(OH) 6] 3−. [12]
