Preparation Of Ferrous Ammonium Sulphate (Mohr Salt)
Aim : To Preparare Ferrous Ammonium Sulphate (Mohr Salt)
Materials Required:
Beaker, Conical flask(250ml), Funnel, Glass rod, Tripod Stand, Bunsen Burner
Chemical Required :
Ferrous Sulphate, Ammonium Sulphate, Dilute H2SO4, Distilled water
Theory: When a mixture containing equimolar proportions of ferrous sulphate and ammonium sulphate
is crystallised from its solution, a double salt is formed. The formation of double salt may be
shown as follows:
FeSO4 + (NH4)2 SO4 + 6H2O → FeSO4 . (NH4)2 SO4 . 6H2O
Ferrous ammonium sulphate (Mohr’s salt)
2+
Fe and ions undergo hydrolysis, therefore, while preparing aqueous solutions of ferrous sulphate in
water, 2-3 mL dilute sulphuric acid is added to prevent the hydrolysis of these salts.
Procedure :
➢ Dissolve 3.5 g of ferrous sulphate and 1.7 g of ammonium sulphate (weighed separately), in 5 mL of
distilled water contained in a 50 mL conical flask by heating.
➢ Add about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid to the flask and concentrate the solution by heating till the
crystallization point is reached.
➢ Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature slowly.
➢ On cooling, light green crystals of ferrous ammonium sulphate separate out.
➢ Decant the mother liquor and wash the crystals by shaking with very small amounts of 1:1 cold water
and alcohol mixture to remove sticking mother liquor.
➢ Separate the crystals by filtration wash with alcohol, dry between the folds of a filter paper and record
the yield.
Precaution:
➢ Cool the solution slowly to get good crystals. Avoid rapid cooling.
➢ Do not disturb the solution while cooling.
➢ Avoid prolonged heating while preparing crystals of ferrous ammonium sulphate, as it may oxidise
ferrous ions to ferric ions and change the stoichiometry of the crystals.
