ferriksulfat
Ferriksulfat, also known as ferric sulfate or iron(III) sulfate, is an inorganic salt with the formula Fe2(SO4)3. In solid form it is typically encountered as hydrates, since the anhydrous salt is highly hygroscopic and readily absorbs moisture from the air. In aqueous solution, iron(III) sulfate produces strongly acidic conditions and ferric ions that undergo hydrolysis to various species, eventually leading to precipitates such as iron oxyhydroxide on aging.
Ferric sulfate is produced by reacting sulfuric acid with iron(III) oxide or hydrated iron oxides: Fe2O3 +
