What is the difference between ferric sulfate and ferrous sulfate?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Ferric sulfate contains trivalent iron cations and ferrous sulfate contains divalent iron cations. As a consequence of this, they have different ratios of iron to sulfur or oxygen and other different properties.

What is the difference between ferrous and ferric iron?
Ferrous ion carries a +2 charge and Ferric carries + 3
What is the color of a ferrous sulfate solution while heating?
The aqueous solution of ferrous sulfate, FeSO4, is light green on heating. It changes to yellow then brown due to formation of ferric sulfate.
What is difference in ferric oxide and ferric sulfate?
One is an oxide O2- and one is a sulfate SO42-
What is FeSo?
I think you mean either:- FeSO4 Iron(II) sulfate or ferrous sulfate Fe2(SO4)3 Iron(III) sulfate or ferric sulfate FeSO3 iron(II) sulfite or ferrous sulfite Fe2(SO3)3 iron(III) sulfite or ferric sulfite (I believe this compound is theoretical - the sulfite ion reduces the Fe3+ to Fe2+ )
Ferric or ferrous in the body?
Iron can exist in the body as ferrous or ferric, depending on what part of the biological process iron is in. For instance, iron in the plus two-oxidation state is "ferrous". Iron in the plus three-oxidation state is ferric.
What is the difference between ferrous and ferric iron?
Ferrous ion carries a +2 charge and Ferric carries + 3
Does ferrous sulfate have a shelf life?
Yes it slowly oxidises to Ferric Sulfate
How does the difference between ferric and ferrous affect their ability to form ionic compounds?
Because ferric does not haveou
Ho do you dissolve Iron SULFATE?
Iron forms two types of sulfates, Ferrous sulfate FeSO4 and Ferric sulfate Fe2(SO4)3 , Ferrous sulfate is easily soluble in normal water and Ferric sulfate may be dissolved in water by adding a little amount of sulpuric acid.
What is the color of a ferrous sulfate solution while heating?
The aqueous solution of ferrous sulfate, FeSO4, is light green on heating. It changes to yellow then brown due to formation of ferric sulfate.
What is difference in ferric oxide and ferric sulfate?
One is an oxide O2- and one is a sulfate SO42-
What is FeSo?
I think you mean either:- FeSO4 Iron(II) sulfate or ferrous sulfate Fe2(SO4)3 Iron(III) sulfate or ferric sulfate FeSO3 iron(II) sulfite or ferrous sulfite Fe2(SO3)3 iron(III) sulfite or ferric sulfite (I believe this compound is theoretical - the sulfite ion reduces the Fe3+ to Fe2+ )
What compound is made for iron sulphur and oxygen?
here can be many compounds containing Iron, Sulfur, and Oxygen : => Ferrous sulfate = FeSO4 => Ferric sulfate = Fe2(SO4)3 => Ferrous Sulfite = FeSO3 => Ferric Sulfite = Fe2(SO3)3 etc.
Why Ferrous ion carries a 2 charge and Ferric carries 3?
These are just the definitions of ferrous and ferric as they apply to iron compounds.
Is Ferrous and Ferric diatomic and triatomic?
No. Ferrous and ferric cations are divalent and trivalent respectively, but both are only single atom ions.
Is ferrous sulphate an acid or base?
No, it is a salt, of Iron and Hydrosulfuric acid
Ferric or ferrous in the body?
Iron can exist in the body as ferrous or ferric, depending on what part of the biological process iron is in. For instance, iron in the plus two-oxidation state is "ferrous". Iron in the plus three-oxidation state is ferric.
