raudIIIhüdroksiidi

Raud(III)hüdroksiid is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Fe(OH)3. It is a form of iron(III) hydroxide, a precipitate that commonly forms when iron(III) ions are exposed to alkaline conditions in water. In its pure form, it is a reddish-brown solid. It is generally insoluble in water, but it can dissolve in strong acids. Raud(III)hüdroksiid is a weakly basic compound.

The formation of raud(III)hüdroksiid is a common observation in aquatic chemistry and can occur naturally in environments where iron-containing minerals are weathered and exposed to oxygen and changes in pH. It is also a product in some industrial processes. This compound can exist in various hydrated forms, often represented as FeO(OH)·nH2O or Fe2O3·nH2O, where n represents the degree of hydration, which can vary. These hydrated forms are often referred to as iron(III) oxyhydroxides.

Raud(III)hüdroksiid is not typically manufactured for specific commercial applications due to its relatively simple chemical nature and the availability of other iron compounds. However, it plays a role in natural processes like soil formation and the biogeochemical cycling of iron. Its physical properties, such as its insolubility and color, are notable.
