The Ferrous ion has a '2+' charge.
Hence the formula for ferrous sulphate is FeSO4.
NB The Ferric ion has a '3+' charge.
Hence the formula for ferric sulphate is Fe2(SO4)3
What else can I help you with?
What is the ion charge on sulphate?
The ion charge on sulfate is 2-. This means that the sulfate ion carries a charge of -2.
Why Ferrous ion carries a 2 charge and Ferric carries 3?
Ferrous ion (Fe2+) carries a 2+ charge because it has lost two electrons. Ferric ion (Fe3+) carries a 3+ charge because it has lost three electrons. The number of electrons lost determines the charge of the ion.
Is ferrous sulphate an acid or base?
No, it is a salt, of Iron and Hydrosulfuric acid
What is the formula for ferrous sulphate?
The chemical formula for ferrous sulfate is FeSO4.
Formula of ferrous sulphate?
FeSO4 ; Do not confuse with 'Ferric sulphate' which is 'Fe2(SO4)3'.
What is oxidation state of Fe in ferrous ammonium sulphate?
The oxidation state of Fe in ferrous ammonium sulphate is +2. The compound has the chemical formula FeSO4(NH4)2SO4. Since the sulfate ion (SO4^2-) has a charge of -2 and the ammonium ion (NH4^+) is a cation with a charge of +1, the Fe ion must have a charge of +2 to balance the overall charge of the compound.
What is the ion charge on sulphate?
The ion charge on sulfate is 2-. This means that the sulfate ion carries a charge of -2.
What is ferrous sulphate molecular formula?
Ferrous sulphate, or iron (II) sulphate has the formula FeSO4.
Formula for ferrous sulphate?
The formula for ferrous sulphate is FeSO4.
Why Ferrous ion carries a 2 charge and Ferric carries 3?
Ferrous ion (Fe2+) carries a 2+ charge because it has lost two electrons. Ferric ion (Fe3+) carries a 3+ charge because it has lost three electrons. The number of electrons lost determines the charge of the ion.
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 the chemical formula of ferrous sulphate?
The chemical formula of ferrous sulphate is FeSO4.
What is the formula for iron2 sulphate?
Iron (II) sulphate has the formula FeSO4. The sulphate ion has a 2- charge, and the iron (II) ion has a 2+ charge, so only one of each ion is needed to form a neutral iron (II) sulphate compound.
What possible charge can iron acquire as an ion?
Iron can acquire a charge of +2 or +3 as an ion. The +2 charge is more common and is known as ferrous ion, while the +3 charge is less common and is known as ferric ion.
Is ferrous sulphate an acid or base?
No, it is a salt, of Iron and Hydrosulfuric acid
What is the oxidation number for ferrous?
Ferrous has positive two charge. So the Oxidation number is equal charge.
What is the formula for ferrous sulphate?
The chemical formula for ferrous sulfate is FeSO4.
