Potassium ferrocyanide (Potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) trihydrate)
Product Overview & Quality
- Product Name: Potassium ferrocyanide (Potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) trihydrate)
- Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade), optimized for high-purity laboratory applications and chemical synthesis.
- Purity (Assay): Not less than 99%
- Physical Properties: Lemon-yellow crystals or crystalline powder; odorless.
- Solubility: Readily soluble in water, producing a clear yellow solution.
Safety & Hazards
- Classification: Classified as an irritant. Generally exhibits lower acute toxicity than simple cyanides but requires careful handling.
