Ammonium Ferrous Sulfate, Form : Powder

Ammonium ferrous sulfate, also known as iron(II) ammonium sulfate or Mohr's salt, is a chemical compound with the formula (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2·6H2O. It is a pale green crystalline solid that dissolves readily in water. This compound is valued for its diverse applications across industries. In agriculture, it serves as a nitrogen and iron fertilizer, supplying essential nutrients for plant growth and development. In analytical chemistry, it is used as a reducing agent and standard for titrations due to its ability to undergo oxidation-reduction reactions. Ammonium ferrous sulfate also finds use in water treatment processes to remove phosphates and as a mordant in textile dyeing. While generally regarded as safe for its intended uses, precautions are necessary to prevent ingestion or inhalation of its dust, which may cause irritation to the respiratory tract and gastrointestinal system.
