Product Code : SCL-LC-12184
Ferric Sulphate (SKU SCL-LC-12184), also called iron(III) sulphate, is an inorganic iron salt, Fe2(SO4)3, offered as a laboratory reagent for preparing ferric solutions, teaching iron chemistry and running analytical methods that specify it. It suits Fe3+ and sulphate tests in supervised school labs, colleges, universities and analytical laboratories. Orders from institutions, stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors are packed and shipped by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India.
Specifications
Every recorded detail of this iron(III) salt is set out in the rows below.

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, with warm tubes held in a wooden Test Tube Clamp.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals on iron(III) chemistry and ferric ion reactions, separating precipitates on 120 mm Filter Paper.
- 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; glassware and test reagents for the practical can be added to the same quotation.
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). Iron-practical lists can be sent from the contact page or built up in the enquiry cart, and the lab tender page explains how tender quotations are prepared.
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?
Direct quotations for the salt come from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India to schools, colleges and distributors, and each batch is sent with its Safety Data Sheet and a hydrate-form label.
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, with goggles, gloves and dust control in place.
