Ferrous Sulfate (II) 100 g Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Ferrous Sulfate (II) 100 g (Product Code: SCI-711/314) is an analytical reagent grade iron(II) sulfate used to demonstrate thermal decomposition, test for iron(II) ions and carry out the brown ring test for nitrates in secondary school and college chemistry laboratories. Teachers value the pale green crystals because one salt illustrates hydration, oxidation and decomposition, and each 100 g pack comes with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry consumables supplier in India.

Specifications

What Is Ferrous Sulfate Used For?

In the thermal decomposition practical, a few crystals are heated in a hard-glass test tube: they first lose their water of crystallisation and colour, then break down into reddish-brown iron(III) oxide while sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide escape with a sharp smell. Use only a small quantity and carry it out in a fume cupboard or a well-ventilated room.

Freshly made solutions are used to identify iron(II) ions, since sodium hydroxide gives a dirty-green precipitate that browns on standing in air, and in the brown ring test for nitrate ions. Iron(II) solutions oxidise slowly in air, so prepare them just before the lesson and keep them covered. College students also meet the salt as a reducing agent that decolourises potassium permanganate in redox work.

What to Specify When Ordering

• How many 100 g packs your practical groups need.
• The hydration form you require, if your syllabus or method names one.
• Whether you also want the separate Ferrous Sulfate (II) listing or related iron salts on the same quotation.
• Your delivery location in India or abroad.

Supplier

Ferrous Sulfate (II) 100 g is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala company behind the ScienceLab name, which sources analytical reagents for schools, colleges and dealers. Packs are dispatched with their MSDS so the chemical store has the safety sheet on file from the day of delivery. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Iron(II) practicals built around Ferrous Sulfate (II) 100 g usually call for:

• Ferrous Sulfate (II) — another catalogue listing of the same salt; ask us which suits your order.
• Test Tube Holder — grips the hard-glass tube while the crystals are heated.
• Sodium Hydroxide — gives the green precipitate that confirms iron(II) ions.
• Potassium Permanganate — the purple oxidising agent that iron(II) decolourises in redox work.
• Ferrous Ammonium sulphate — a more air-stable iron(II) salt often chosen for standard solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ferrous Sulfate (II) 100 g used for?
Ferrous Sulfate (II) 100 g is used for the thermal decomposition practical, for identifying iron(II) ions with sodium hydroxide, for the brown ring test for nitrates and as a reducing agent in redox experiments. It is an analytical reagent pack supplied with MSDS for school and college laboratories.

What happens when Ferrous Sulfate (II) crystals are heated?
Heated Ferrous Sulfate (II) crystals first lose their water of crystallisation and green colour, then decompose into reddish-brown iron(III) oxide while sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide are given off. Use a small amount in a hard-glass tube and work in a fume cupboard or well-ventilated room.

Why does a Ferrous Sulfate (II) solution turn yellow-brown?
A Ferrous Sulfate (II) solution turns yellow-brown because oxygen in the air slowly oxidises iron(II) ions to iron(III). Make the solution just before use, keep it covered and add a little dilute sulfuric acid to slow the change, particularly before the brown ring test.

Is Ferrous Sulfate (II) the same as iron(II) sulfate?
Yes. Ferrous Sulfate (II) is this catalogue's name for iron(II) sulfate; "ferrous" already means iron in the +2 state, so both names describe the same salt. Tell us if your method needs a particular hydrate so we can confirm the form in the 100 g pack.

What is the shelf life of Ferrous Sulfate (II)?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is given for Ferrous Sulfate (II) 100 g. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and store the pack sealed in a dry cupboard to limit air oxidation.

How can a school or dealer order Ferrous Sulfate (II) 100 g?
Schools, colleges and dealers can order Ferrous Sulfate (II) 100 g by stating the number of packs, any required hydrate and the delivery address. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, quotes for delivery across India and international markets.
