Molecular Formula | C6FeNa3O12 |
Molar Mass | 388.87 |
Solubility | This compound is very soluble in hot water, (182 parts per 100 parts solvent by mass), but a lot less soluble in cold water, (32 parts per 100 parts solvent), about the solubility of sodium chloride. It is not appreciably soluble in ethanol or ethanol water mixtures which are more than 50% ethanol by mass. It is somewhat more soluble in water than the corresponding potassium salt. |
Storage Condition | Room Temprature |
Overview | sodium iron oxalate is also known as "sodium iron (III) trioxalate". Chemical formula Na3[Fe(C2O4)3] · xH2O. Molecular weight 365.89. Green monoclinic crystals. The relative density was 1.93717.5. Heating to 100-120 °c begins to lose one molecule of water. Excess sodium oxalate was added to the Fe3 solution and evaporated and crystallized to give sodium iron oxalate. |
Use | sodium iron oxalate is used for metal plating. |
