Ferrous Ammonium sulfate Hexahydrate ACS is an inorganic compound that exists as a light green to blue crystalline powder. Its chemical formula is Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 · 6H2O. It is also referred to as Ammonium ferrous sulfate hexahydrate, Ammonium iron(II) sulfate, or Mohr's salt. This compound readily dissolves in water but is insoluble in ethanol and acetone. Ferrous Ammonium sulfate Hexahydrate ACS is a double salt composed of iron sulfate and ammonium sulfate. It is produced by dissolving equimolar amounts of iron(II) sulfate and ammonium sulfate in water and then allowing the product to crystallize. Due to its exceptional purity and versatility, this compound finds applications in a wide range of fields.

Application :
- Ferrous ammonium sulfate hexahydrate ACS is mainly used in analytical chemistry in redox titrations.
- It is widely used as a source of Fe2+ ions because of its high solubility in water and because it oxidizes much more slowly in air than other ferrous salts like iron(II) sulfate.
- It is also used as a source of Fe2+ to synthesize iron-containing nanoparticles.
- It also serves as a precursor in the synthesis of iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeOOH) nanosheets and as reagents to dope metal oxide-hydroxide nanosheets with iron.
Key features :
- Meet the toughest regulatory standards for quality and purity
- Acts as an iron ion donor for building Fe-S clusters in vitro
- Readily crystallized, and crystals resist oxidation by air
- Low impurities
