Ref. 3D-FS47524

Product Information

• Name: Stannous sulfate
• Synonyms: Tin(II) sulfate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: The synthesis of stannous sulfate involves the reaction of potassium dichromate and sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid. The product is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water. This compound has been used to prepare other types of sulfates, such as calcium stearate. Stannous sulfate is a strong reducing agent and can be used to reduce metal ions, such as chromium (III) ions. It also has an acidic pH and can be used in the preparation of other compounds with acidic properties, such as sodium carbonate and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. Stannous sulfate has a redox potential of 0.85 volts and its optimum concentration is at 1 Molar. It also has an anhydrous form that can be made by heating anhydrous sodium to 100 °C and then adding sulfuric acid while stirring until all the sodium dissolves into solution. The optical sensor for this compound is blue-green on
