Product Code : SCL-LC-12184
Ferric Sulphate (SKU SCL-LC-12184), also called iron(III) sulphate, is an inorganic iron salt, Fe2(SO4)3, used as a laboratory reagent for preparing ferric solutions, teaching iron chemistry and running analytical methods that specify it. Supervised school labs, colleges, universities and analytical laboratories keep it for Fe3+ and sulphate tests. Science Lab Supplies sources and dispatches it from Ambala, India for institutions, stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Anhydrous ferric sulphate has the formula Fe2(SO4)3, a molecular weight of about 399.9 g/mol and CAS 10028-22-5. Hydrated forms containing water of crystallisation also exist, so the batch label and quotation confirm the hydrate form, grade and pack size you will receive.

Applications and Experiments for Ferric Sulphate
Ferric sulphate supplies both iron(III) cations and sulphate anions in one salt, so a single solution lets students practise tests for each. Beyond teaching, it is weighed out for analytical and research methods that name it, always under trained supervision and with the Safety Data Sheet at hand.
- CBSE Class 12 salt analysis: confirming Fe3+ in group III and testing for the sulphate anion.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals on iron(III) chemistry and ferric ion reactions.
- Preparing ferric salt solutions for analytical procedures that specify ferric sulphate.
Standard Scope of Supply
Supplied as a closed container of ferric sulphate labelled with batch, grade and hydrate-form details, together with the current Safety Data Sheet. Outer packaging carries a tamper seal and the export documents; indicator papers, glassware and test reagents are quoted separately.
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
One container or a stockroom quantity can be quoted; in each case the quotation states packing, delivery time and price for that order. Iron test reagents and other laboratory chemicals from the same supplier in India can join it so that one delivery covers the iron practicals.
An Importer-Exporter Code lets Science Lab Supplies ship to buyers in Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria and Kenya. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Enquiries are welcome through the contact page and the enquiry cart; the lab tender page covers tender quotations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ferric sulphate the same as ferrous sulphate?
No. Ferric sulphate contains iron in the +3 state, Fe2(SO4)3, while ferrous sulphate contains iron(II). They give different test results in salt analysis, so order the one your practical names.
What safety precautions apply?
Soluble iron salts may irritate the eyes, skin and mucous membranes and can upset the stomach if swallowed. Wear goggles and gloves, avoid dust and follow the Safety Data Sheet.
Who supplies the Ferric Sulphate?
Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India supplies the salt to schools, colleges and distributors on direct quotations, with the batch Safety Data Sheet included.
Can school laboratories order it?
Yes. It is intended for authorised school and college labs working under trained supervision and the institution's chemical-safety procedure.
