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.
