It will make more sense if you write it as [Fe(H2O)5(OH)]SO4 and if you know that iron salts are acidic. It causes the water molecule to break off as a hydronium ion(H+). An example of one of the stages of hydrolysis is [Fe(H2O)6]<sup>3+</sup> <----> [Fe(H2O)5(OH)]<sup>2+</sup> + H<sup>+</sup>

thanks for your reply but....


dear "guy",

thank you for your reply but I think it is not what I looked for
to explain you better i have two solids : l'hydroxide iron sulfate (FeSO4OH which is obtained by drying of solid FeSO4*H2O)
the reaction between iron sulfate monohydrate and potassium hydroxide is written:
FeSO4*H2O + 2KOH = Fe(OH)2 + K2SO4 +H2O
what im looking for is what's happen when
FeSO4OH react with KOH
the reaction is simply:
FeSO4OH+KOH=Fe(OH)2+K2SO4 or is more complicated ?

In FeSO4*H2O, iron is in +2 oxidation state. FeSO4(OH) is in the +3 oxidation state. Unless it was oxidized during drying. In that case adding more hydroxide will cause it to hydrolyse more to form insoluble Fe(OH)3.
