Product description

Ammonium iron(II) sulfate hexahydrate, also known as Mohr's salt, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2·6H2O, a double salt of ferrous sulfate and ammonium sulfate, and is a common laboratory reagent. Ammonium iron(II) sulfate hexahydrate is widely utilized in analytical chemistry for titration purposes since it is affected lesser by oxygen in the air than iron(II) sulpahte. It is employed to measure high doses of gamma rays by using Fricke's dosemeter.

Applications

APPLICATION::

  • Analytical Chemistry: Used in redox titrations as a standard solution due to its stability and high molecular mass. 
  • Fricke's Dosimeter: Used to measure high doses of gamma rays. 
  • Nanomaterials: Involved in various applications from nanomaterials to general redox reactions. 
  • Medical Field: Used as an antianemic agent for iron deficiency treatment. 
  • Redox Flow Battery: Can be used as a negative electrolyte to develop a vanadium/iron redox flow battery (V/Fe RFB). 
  • Catalyst: Can be used as a precursor to synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles deposited over bismuth carbonate/ACF(fiber) which can be used as an efficient catalyst for wastewater treatment. 
  • Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell: Can be used to modify methyl orange dye via metal insertion reaction, which acts as a light harvester on DSSC. 

Also known as

Ammonium Iron II Sulphate HexaHydrate, Mohr's Salt, Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate

Notes

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

  • Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure. 
  • Inspect gloves before use and ensure they are suitable for the task (chemical compatibility, dexterity, operational conditions, user susceptibility). 
  • Wear eye protection/face protection. 

Ventilation:

  • Ensure adequate ventilation, especially when dust formation is a concern. 
  • Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. 

Dust Formation:

  • Avoid dust formation and aerosols. 
  • Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. 

Contact:

  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes. 
  • Wash skin thoroughly after handling. 
  • If on skin: Wash with plenty of soap and water. 
  • If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. 

Ingestion and Inhalation:

  • Avoid ingestion and inhalation. 
  • Do not eat, drink, or smoke when using this product. 

Storage:

  • Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place. 
  • Store away from oxidising material, alkalis, and moisture. 

Spills:

  • Soak up spills with inert solids, such as clay or diatomaceous earth as soon as possible. 
  • Minimize generation of dust. 

Specific Hazards:

  • Skin and Eye Irritation: Ammonium iron(II) sulfate hexahydrate can cause skin and eye irritation. 
  • Respiratory Irritation: May cause respiratory irritation. 
  • Corrosion: May be corrosive to metals. 
  • Combustible Dust: Further processing of solid materials may result in the formation of combustible dusts.
