This is an ion exchange reaction between Iron(II) Sulfate (FeSO4) and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) to produce Iron(II) Hydroxide (Fe(OH)2) and Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4).
- Reaction conditions:
The reaction occurs at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
- Reaction process:
Iron(II) Sulfate (FeSO4) reacts with Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) to produce Iron(II) Hydroxide (Fe(OH)2) and Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4). This reaction proceeds through an ion exchange process between the two substances.
- Phenomenon occurring:
When the reaction occurs, we will see the phenomenon of blue-green powder (Iron(II) Hydroxide) precipitating from the solution, simultaneously producing a colorless Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4) solution.
