Potassium ferricyanide (Potassium hexacyanoferrate(III))

Product Overview & Quality

  • Product Name: Potassium ferricyanide (Potassium hexacyanoferrate(III))
  • Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade), optimized for high-purity laboratory applications and redox titrations.
  • Physical Properties: Bright orange-red crystals or ruby-red crystalline powder; odorless.
  • Solubility: Highly soluble in water, forming a yellowish-green solution.

Safety & Hazards

  • Classification: Classified as an irritant; harmful to aquatic life.
  • Critical Danger: Do NOT mix with strong acids. Contact with acids releases highly toxic Hydrogen Cyanide gas, which can be fatal.
  • Health Risks: May cause eye and skin irritation. Exposure to high heat can lead to the release of toxic fumes (nitrogen oxides and cyanides).
  • First Aid Measures: Flush affected eyes or skin with plenty of water. If dust or fumes are inhaled, move the person to fresh air immediately.

Handling & Storage

  • Storage: Light sensitive; must be stored in amber containers or in a dark, cool, and dry place to prevent decomposition.
  • Precautions: Wear standard PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles. Store strictly away from acids and strong oxidizing agents. Ensure proper disposal of chemical waste containing cyanide complexes.
