Applications
APPLICATION
- Metal industry: Used in the production of iron blue, brass coloring baths, and iron plating solutions
- Medicine: Used in medicine
- Chemical analysis: Used in chemical analysis
- Pesticides: Used to correct iron deficiencies in pesticide sprays
- Fertilizers: Used in complete analysis fertilizers that contain iron
- Titrations: Used as a reductometric standard in titrations involving ceric, dichromate, and permanganate ions
- Electroless plating: Used in electroless plating of Fe-based alloys
Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate solutions are used as reductometric standards in titrations involving Ceric, Dichromate and Permanganate ions, as well as other oxidizers. Since Ferrous ion is easily oxidized by air to Ferric ion, Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate solutions are not as stable as other reductometric standards such as Arsenic Trioxide and Sodium Oxalate solutions, but they do not have the toxicity or environmental problems of the others. Because of this inherent instability, it is recommended that Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate solutions be restandardized periodically when extreme accuracy is required.
Freshly standardized Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate solutions are used in the determination of Chlorine in drinking water, among other applications. Typical reactions involving Ferrous ions are:
Dosage and directions
Ferrous ammonium sulfate (anhydrous) is a compound of ammonium, iron and sulfate in which the ratio of ammonium to iron(2+) to sulfate ions is 2:1:2. It has a role as a ferroptosis inducer. It is a metal sulfate, an iron molecular entity and an ammonium salt.
