Iron acetate generally refers to iron acetate.
Iron acetate is a white or light brown ionic iron solid compound, which is easily soluble in water and forms light green tetrahydrate.
Iron uses scrap iron and acetic acid to produce acetic acid, which is used as a mordant in dye industry.
It can also be prepared by the reaction of iron oxide or iron hydroxide with concentrated acetic acid.
Ferrous acetate:
Ferrous acetate is an inorganic substance with the chemical formula C4H6FeO4. White or light green powder with pungent taste and easy deliquescence. Insoluble in common organic solvent, heated with pyridine to obtain pale yellow complex.
Appearance: white or light green powder. It dissolves easily.
Melting point: 190-200℃. The decomposition temperature is 190-200℃.
Solubility: Soluble in water, forming light green tetrahydrate. Easy to oxidize.
Danger: Irritating to eyes and nose. If you accidentally touch it, rinse it with plenty of water. The situation is serious and needs treatment.
Preparation: Iron (II) acetate is made from scrap iron and acetic acid, which is used as a mordant in the dye industry. It can also be prepared by the reaction of ferrous oxide or ferrous hydroxide with concentrated acetic acid.
Ferrous acetate can be obtained by adding acetic acid to iron powder, and the reaction equation is 2CH3COOH+Fe=Fe(CH3COO)2+H2↑. However, due to the weak acidity of acetic acid (ionization degree = 1.3%), the activity of iron is not very strong (but it is still more active than hydrogen), and the reaction speed is very slow.
