Iron(II) selenate (ferrous selenate) is an inorganic compound with the formula FeSeO4. It has anhydrous and several hydrate forms. The pentahydrate has the structure, [Fe(H2O)4]SeO4•H2O, isomorphous to the corresponding iron(II) sulfate.[2] Heptahydrate is also known, in form of unstable green crystalline solid.[3]

Preparation

[edit]

Iron(II) selenate can be prepared by the reaction of saturated sodium selenate and iron(II) sulfate at 80 °C. When cooled to room temperature, crystalline iron(II) selenate precipitates from the solution.[4]

Na2SeO4 (sat.) + FeSO4 → Na2SO4 + FeSeO4

The reaction of iron and selenic acid produces iron(II) selenate as well, but with a side product:[3]

Fe + H2SeO4 → FeSeO4 + H2
3 Fe + 4 H2SeO4 → 3 FeSeO4 + Se + 4 H2O

Other species containing oxoanion of selenium

[edit]

Double salts like the Tutton's salts (NH4)2Fe(SeO4)2•6H2O and K2Fe(SeO4)2•6H2O are known.[3]

In addition to the ferrous (Fe2+) salt, the ferric (Fe3+) salt iron(III) selenate, Fe2(SeO4)3, has also been reported.[5]

However, iron(II) selenite (FeSeO3) is unknown, though the selenite and pyroselenite of iron(III) was published.[6]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
