Ammonium Iron Sulphate
I have done a search but haven't found my answer... I have a sample pot (specimen jar) of ferrous ammonium sulfate (label printed by previous labbie) and the hand written chemical formula on it is wrong. It is a very pale green salt. Would this be iron II or iron III? Is there a way to work it out? I am wanting to buy a new bottle of it so I can get rid of this one but I'm not sure which one to buy. Do you use both types? I am happy to get both if they will be used! From Rosaliel yesterday, So very sorry I merged with wrong ones. So I have started a new thread.

Re: Ammonium Iron Sulphate
Ferrous is iron II. Ferric is iron III.

Re: Ammonium Iron Sulphate
Thanks Yeah I know ferrous is supposed to be II but the hand written chemical formula didn't match the printed label so I wasn't sure what it was, It is definitely not purple like that so it must be the ferrous. It's not in the original container. I will get some more. Do you use both iron II and iron III? If so, I will get both.

Re: Ammonium Iron Sulphate
The Ammonium Iron III sulphate is used in a saturated solution for year 12 Chem .Can't remember the prac but it seems to be in the new syllabus.
Never been asked for the ferrous version .

Re: Ammonium Iron Sulphate
It's used for the Mohr's Salt titration in year 12. well at least that's what we use it for. Ammonium Ferrous Sulfate (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2.6H2O.
We have Ammonium Ferric Sulfate as well but it's on my list for disposal. The container we have is really old and hasn't been asked for for in the time I've been here.

Re: Ammonium Iron Sulphate
Your SDS should tell you. But it needs to go to chemical waste collection. In a jar or container well labeled.

Re: Ammonium Iron Sulphate
If you have access to the Risk Assess program you will have information on that site to help you in your disposal choices.

Re: Iron Sulfate
Do remember most of you have pit or Sump of some sort, hence the CSIS lets you put it down the sink to waste, with lots of water of course.
