What is the difference between ferric sulfate and ferrous sulfate?

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.


Is Ferrous chloride and ferric chloride same?

No, they have different formulas and have iron in different oxidation states. Ferrous chloride or Iron II chloride has the Fe2+ ion and the formula FeCl2 Ferric chloride or Iron III chloride has the Fe3+ ion and the formula FeCl3


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.


Does ferric iron convert to ferrous iron?

Yes. Ferric iron (Fe+3) can be reduced to ferrous iron (Fe+2). Reduction means that the ferric iron gained an electron, resulting in an overall reduction of the charge. Similarly, ferrous iron oxidizes to ferric iron by losing an electron. This is called a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction.On a side note, the reduction of ferric iron to ferrous iron by stomach acid is how we are able to absorb iron from the foods we eat.
