Sodium ferrocyanide is the sodium salt of the coordination compound of formula [Fe(CN) 6] 4−. In its hydrous form, Na 4 Fe(CN) 6 · H 2 O (sodium ferrocyanide decahydrate), it is sometimes known as yellow prussiate of soda. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. The yellow color is the color of ...
Ferrocyanide is the name of the anion [Fe 6] 4−. Salts of this coordination complex give yellow solutions. It is usually available as the salt potassium ferrocyanide, which has the formula K 4 Fe(CN) 6. [Fe(CN) 6] 4− is a diamagnetic species, featuring low-spin iron(II) center in an octahedral ligand environment.
In chemistry, an acid–base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base.It can be used to determine pH via titration.Several theoretical frameworks provide alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems; these are called the acid–base theories, for example, Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory.
2 K 4 [Fe(CN) 6] + Cl 2 → 2 K 3 [Fe(CN) 6] + 2 KCl. 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 ...
Animation of a strong acid–strong base neutralization titration (using phenolphthalein). The equivalence point is marked in red. In chemistry, neutralization or neutralisation (see spelling differences) is a chemical reaction in which acid and a base react with an equivalent quantity of each other. In a reaction in water, neutralization ...
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.
On the other hand, if a chemical is a weak acid its conjugate base will not necessarily be strong. Consider that ethanoate, the conjugate base of ethanoic acid, has a base splitting constant (Kb) of about 5.6 × 10 −10, making it a weak base. In order for a species to have a strong conjugate base it has to be a very weak acid, like water.
Nitric acid is a source of nitric oxide complexes, although the details are obscure. Probably relevant is the conventional self-dehydration of nitric acid: 2 HNO 3 → NO 2 + NO 3 − + H 2 O. Nitric acid is used in some preparations of nitroprusside from ferrocyanide: HNO 3 + [Fe(CN) 6] 4-→ [Fe(CN) 5 (NO)] 2-+ OH − + OCN −
