Product Information

• Name: Iron(III) nitrate nonahydrate
• Synonyms: Ferric nitrate nonahydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Iron(III) nitrate nonahydrate is a redox active compound that can be used in nutrient solutions. It is a strong oxidizing agent that can be reduced to iron(II) ions by the addition of hydroxyl ions, which are generated by the oxidation of nitrate to nitrite. The reaction mechanism for this process is as follows: FeNO3 + 2HO → Fe2+ + 3NO2 Iron(III) nitrate nonahydrate has an oxidation potential of +0.34 V and a reduction potential of -0.34 V, which makes it suitable for use in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. Iron(III) nitrate nonahydrate also reacts with ethylene diamine to form iron ethylenediamine complexes, which can then react with sodium citrate to form ferric citrates. This compound is not toxic to humans because it does not contain any nitrogen atoms that could cause reactions with human
