Product Overview
Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO₄·7H₂O) in granular form is a high-purity ACS reagent-grade chemical designed for precision in laboratory and analytical applications. This BAKER ANALYZED™ product ensures consistent composition, meeting stringent American Chemical Society (ACS) standards for reliability in qualitative and quantitative analyses. The granular form provides ease of handling and dissolution, making it ideal for preparing standard solutions, titrations, and other critical lab procedures. With minimal impurities, it guarantees accurate results in redox reactions, iron content determinations, and synthesis processes. The heptahydrate structure ensures stability under standard storage conditions, while its solubility in water allows for quick preparation of iron(II) solutions. Whether used in volumetric analysis or as a reducing agent, this ferrous sulfate variant delivers reproducibility and adherence to strict quality benchmarks. The 500 g pack size offers an optimal balance between bulk availability and freshness, reducing the need for frequent reordering while maintaining product integrity. Engineered for professionals, this reagent supports demanding applications where trace impurities could compromise experimental outcomes.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between ACS grade and reagent grade ferrous sulfate?
ACS grade meets the American Chemical Society’s purity specifications, ensuring tighter control over impurities compared to general reagent grade. This makes it more suitable for analytical applications where precision is critical.
2. Can this ferrous sulfate be used for preparing standard iron solutions?
Yes, the high purity and consistent composition of this ACS-grade product make it ideal for preparing standard iron(II) solutions for titrations and calibration purposes.
3. How should this product be stored to maintain its stability?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and incompatible substances. Exposure to air may cause oxidation over time.
4. Is this ferrous sulfate compatible with common laboratory solvents?
It is highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in methanol but insoluble in ethanol and ether. Always verify compatibility before mixing with other solvents.
5. What alternatives exist if this specific grade is unavailable?
Reagent-grade ferrous sulfate or USP-grade variants can serve as alternatives, though they may have slightly higher impurity levels. For non-analytical uses, technical-grade options are also available.
