Ferric acid refers to the compound Iron(III) oxide hydroxide, with formula FeO(OH) which has empirical formula HFeO2
But this compound is not acidic. Ferrate salts have the formula FeO4-2 , but their conjugate acid cannot be formed due to extremely unstable nature. These ferrates are also unstable, even decomposing at neutral pH. So instead, Ferric acid refers to another compound. But if it would have existed, its formula would have been H2FeO4
What else can I help you with?
Is ferrous sulphate an acid or base?
No, it is a salt, of Iron and Hydrosulfuric acid
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.
Conversion of Ferric chloride to ferrous chloride?
Ferric chloride can be reduced to ferrous chloride by adding a reducing agent such as hydrochloric acid or sulfur dioxide. The reaction involves the transfer of electrons from the reducing agent to the ferric ion, converting it to the ferrous ion. This reaction can be represented as: FeCl3 + HCl -> FeCl2 + HCl + Cl2.
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
What is the charge on the ferrous ion in ferrous sulphate?
The charge on the ferrous ion in ferrous sulfate is +2. The ferrous ion, Fe2+, has lost two electrons, giving it a positive charge of 2.
Is ferrous sulphate an acid or base?
No, it is a salt, of Iron and Hydrosulfuric acid
Is Ferrous and Ferric diatomic and triatomic?
No. Ferrous and ferric cations are divalent and trivalent respectively, but both are only single atom ions.
What is iron named for?
ferrum (ferric, ferrous)
Which is the ion ferrous or ferric present in your body?
Both ferrous and ferric ions are present in the body. Ferrous ion (Fe2+) is a reduced form of iron found in hemoglobin and myoglobin, while ferric ion (Fe3+) is involved in iron transport and storage, as well as in various enzyme reactions.
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.
How does the difference between ferric and ferrous affect their ability to form ionic compounds?
Because ferric does not haveou
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.
What is the difference between ferrous and ferric iron?
Ferrous iron refers to iron with a +2 oxidation state, while ferric iron refers to iron with a +3 oxidation state. Ferric iron is more stable in aerobic environments, while ferrous iron is more reactive and prone to oxidation. Collectively, they play important roles in biological processes and environmental chemistry.
What type of magnetic charge do ferric and ferrous ions contain?
If you mean electric charge the ferric ion has a 3+ charge, the ferrous ion has a 2+ charge.
What is formula for ferrous bromide?
Ferrous bromide is FeBr3 Do NOT confuse with Ferric bromide which is FeBr3
Conversion of Ferric chloride to ferrous chloride?
Ferric chloride can be reduced to ferrous chloride by adding a reducing agent such as hydrochloric acid or sulfur dioxide. The reaction involves the transfer of electrons from the reducing agent to the ferric ion, converting it to the ferrous ion. This reaction can be represented as: FeCl3 + HCl -> FeCl2 + HCl + Cl2.
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
