Iron(II) chloride, also known as ferrous chloride, is the chemical compound of formula FeCl 2.It is a paramagnetic solid with a high melting point. The compound is white, but typical samples are often off-white.
The aquo ligands on iron(II) complexes are labile. It reacts with 1,10-phenanthroline to give the blue iron(II) derivative: When metallic iron (oxidation state 0) is placed in a solution of hydrochloric acid, iron(II) chloride is formed, with release of hydrogen gas, by the reaction Fe 0 + 2 H + → Fe 2+ + H 2. Iron(II) is oxidized by hydrogen ...
The iron compounds produced on the largest scale in industry are iron(II) sulfate (FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O) and iron(III) chloride (FeCl 3). The former is one of the most readily available sources of iron(II), but is less stable to aerial oxidation than Mohr's salt ((NH 4) 2 Fe(SO 4) 2 ·6H 2 O). Iron(II) compounds tend to be oxidized to iron(III ...
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
Aqueous iron(III) chloride serves as a one-electron oxidant illustrated by its reaction with copper(I) chloride to give copper(II) chloride and iron(II) chloride. FeCl 3 + CuCl → FeCl 2 + CuCl 2. This fundamental reaction is relevant to the use of ferric chloride solutions in etching copper.
Green rust is a generic name for various green crystalline chemical compounds containing iron(II) and iron(III) cations, the hydroxide (OH −) anion, and another anion such as carbonate (CO 2− 3), chloride (Cl −), or sulfate (SO 2− 4), in a layered double hydroxide (LDH) structure. The most studied varieties are the following: [1]
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+.
Ferrous carbonate can be prepared by reacting solution of the two ions, such as iron(II) chloride and sodium carbonate: [5]. FeCl 2 + Na 2 CO 3 → FeCO 3 + 2 NaCl. Ferrous carbonate can be prepared also from solutions of an iron(II) salt, such as iron(II) perchlorate, with sodium bicarbonate, releasing carbon dioxide: [6]
