Product Overview
Iron(II) sulfide (FeS) in 99.9% purity (trace metal basis) is a high-grade chemical compound designed for precision laboratory applications where minimal metallic impurities are critical. This fine -100 mesh powder ensures uniform reactivity and dissolution, making it suitable for advanced synthesis protocols, catalytic processes, and analytical testing. The trace metal basis certification guarantees that residual heavy metals and other contaminants are reduced to negligible levels, preventing interference in sensitive experiments. Its black crystalline structure provides high surface area for efficient reactions, while the controlled particle size distribution enhances reproducibility in quantitative analyses. The compound is stable under inert conditions but reacts with acids to release hydrogen sulfide, requiring proper handling. Packaged in airtight containers to prevent oxidation, this reagent maintains its purity during storage. Whether used as a precursor in inorganic synthesis or as a standard in qualitative analysis, this Iron(II) sulfide delivers consistent performance for researchers demanding high-purity materials.
FAQs
1. What is the particle size distribution of this Iron(II) sulfide?
The product is supplied as a -100 mesh powder, meaning all particles pass through a 100-mesh sieve (149 microns), ensuring fine granularity for uniform reactions.
2. How should this compound be stored to maintain purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon) at room temperature. Avoid exposure to moisture or air to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis.
3. Is this Iron(II) sulfide compatible with organic solvents?
It is insoluble in most organic solvents but reacts with polar protic solvents like alcohols. Use anhydrous conditions if suspension in organic media is required.
4. What alternatives exist for applications requiring lower iron content?
For reduced iron presence, consider iron(III) sulfide or mixed-valence iron sulfides, though these may exhibit different reactivity profiles and impurity levels.
5. Does this product contain any anti-caking agents or additives?
No, this is a pure 99.9% Iron(II) sulfide without any additives, binders, or flow agents, ensuring unaltered chemical behavior in reactions.
