Product Code : SCL-CA-12662
The Potassium Ferrocyanide Reagent is an inorganic coordination compound used for controlled iron-ion tests, Prussian-blue demonstrations, qualitative analysis, and supervised chemistry-lab procedures. It is suitable for trained chemistry teachers, laboratory technicians, authorised school and college laboratories, distributors, and procurement teams requiring verified hydrate form, SDS review, and acid-separated storage.
Product Description
Potassium Ferrocyanide Reagent from School Equipments India is prepared for the laboratory chemicals, chemical-analysis reagents, and coordination-compound salts category. A direct verified product page for this exact chemical was not found, so grade, assay, hydrate form, particle form, pack size, container type, SDS, COA, batch number, and expiry or retest date must be confirmed before catalogue upload or ordering.
Potassium ferrocyanide is commonly supplied as potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) trihydrate, with formula K4[Fe(CN)6]·3H2O and . It should not be confused with potassium ferricyanide, K3[Fe(CN)6], or simple cyanide salts. Contact with acids and strong heating must be avoided.
Key Features
- Coordination-compound reagent: supports authorised tests involving iron ions and hexacyanoferrate chemistry.
- Common trihydrate formula: K4[Fe(CN)6]·3H2O supports accurate weighing and documentation.
- Prussian-blue demonstration value: useful for supervised qualitative chemistry involving iron salts.
- Acid-separation requirement: keep away from acids because acid contact can release toxic hydrogen cyanide gas.
- Dust-control handling: avoid inhaling powder during weighing, transfer, and cleanup.
- Procurement-safe listing: unverified pack size, grade, assay, hydrate form, and documents are marked for confirmation.

How to Use the Potassium Ferrocyanide
- Read the current SDS, COA, product label, and laboratory risk assessment before use.
- Confirm grade, assay, hydrate form, particle form, and method suitability before weighing or dispensing.
- Wear safety goggles, suitable gloves, and a lab coat before handling.
- Use a clean, dry spatula and take only the quantity required by the approved procedure.
- Avoid dust formation during transfer, weighing, mixing, solution preparation, and cleanup.
- Keep the reagent and its solutions away from acids, strong oxidizers, strong heat, and unauthorised mixtures.
- Label prepared solutions with name, concentration, date, preparer, hydrate form, and acid-separation note.
- Collect residues and used solutions according to institutional chemical-waste procedures; do not pour into drains unless authorised.
Safety note: Potassium ferrocyanide should not be mixed with acids or heated strongly because toxic hydrogen cyanide gas may be produced. Students should use it only under trained teacher or laboratory-technician supervision.
Care & Maintenance
- Store tightly closed in a dry, labelled chemical-storage area away from acids.
- Keep away from food items, strong oxidizers, heat sources, incompatible chemicals, and unauthorised users.
- Use clean and dry dispensing tools to prevent contamination, caking, and solution carry-back.
- Dispose of contaminated, unlabelled, acid-exposed, or expired reagent through approved laboratory procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Potassium Ferrocyanide used for in a laboratory?
Potassium Ferrocyanide is used for authorised qualitative analysis, iron-ion demonstrations, Prussian-blue formation, coordination-compound lessons, solution preparation, and chemical-analysis procedures where ferrocyanide reagent is specified.
What is the CAS number of potassium ferrocyanide?
Potassium ferrocyanide trihydrate is commonly listed as CAS 14459-95-1. The supplied hydrate form should be confirmed from the label and COA before ordering.
What is the formula of potassium ferrocyanide?
The common trihydrate formula is K4[Fe(CN)6]·3H2O. This is also written as C6H6FeK4N6O3.
Is potassium ferrocyanide the same as potassium ferricyanide?
No. Potassium ferrocyanide is a hexacyanoferrate(II) compound, while potassium ferricyanide is a hexacyanoferrate(III) compound. They have different formulas and should not be substituted without method approval.
Is potassium ferrocyanide hazardous with acids?
Yes. Potassium ferrocyanide must be kept away from acids because acid contact may release toxic hydrogen cyanide gas. Use acid-segregated storage and SDS-based handling.
Can Potassium Ferrocyanide be used in school laboratories?
Yes, but only in supervised school and college laboratories when teachers or technicians control PPE, weighing, acid separation, labelling, storage, solution preparation, and disposal.
