Structure of Mohr’s Salt – IIT JEE
The Chemical Formula of Mohr’s Salt is (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2·6H2O. On breaking this structure we get,
- Ammonium Ions (NH4+ )
- Iron (II) Ions (Fe++)
- Sulfate Ions (SO4—)
- Water Molecules (H2O)
These components come together with ions to form the complex structure of Mohr’s salt with a monoclinic geometry, that looks like the given below figure.
Mohr’s Salt
Mohr’s Salt is named after the German chemist Karl Friedrich Mohr, who synthesized it in 1855. In analytical chemistry, Mohr’s salt is frequently used as a primary standard to standardize solutions of other substances, especially when titrating permanganate solutions. In addition, it finds use as a fertilizer in agriculture and various laboratory applications. In this article, we will discuss the various concepts related to Mohr’s Salt.
