Description of key information
Ammonium iron(III) sulfate dodecahydrate melts at temperatures close to room temperature. CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (2005) and Handbook of Inorganic Chemicals (2003) report a value of around 37 °C. Hawley’s Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 16th Edition (2003) reports a melting point range from 39 °C to 41 °C.
In the literature no melting point of anhydrous ammonium iron(III) sulfate was found. For compounds consisting of the same ions, iron(III) sulfate and ammonium sulfate, no melting but decomposition at elevated temperatures (iron(III) sulfate: 480 °C; ammonium sulfate: > 235 °C) is described. Therefore, anhydrous ammonium iron(III) sulfate is expected to decompose as well at elevated temperatures.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 40 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
