Ferrous Sulphate is iron (ii) Sulphate.
It contains Fe²⁺
When Ammonium hydroxide is added to ferrous Sulphate a green precipitate of Fe(OH) ₂ is formed.
The equation is as indicated below.
FeSO₄ (aq) + 2 NH₄OH (aq) —> (NH₄)₂SO₄ (aq) + Fe(OH)₂ (s)
However when Ammonium hydroxide is added to Fe³⁺ a reddish brown precipitate is formed.
This precipitate is :
Fe(OH)₃
