Unlike other ferrous sulfate salts, this one is much less prone to oxidation by O2 due to the presence of the ammonium ions and the highly pH-dependent nature of the redox reaction between the salt and O2. While it does have some reactivity with air, it's much lower than that of other ferrous sulfate salts, making it a superior titrant. With the addition of the sulfuric acid, the reactivity with O2 becomes negligible.

Hope I helped :)

@TheBestGuitarSoloEVR Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were unoriginal and borderline retarded. I wouldn't have even bothered with the carpal tunnel.

@bringbackalfnow faggot!

@TheBestGuitarSoloEVR just because you dont understand him doesnt make him gay. it just makes you semi-retarded.

How come there's a high concentration of negative charge around a C=C bond in a molecule of ethene? How come it's enough to polarise Br-Br, when bromine is less electronegative than carbon?

No, it shouldnt be affected by the air.

I came across a puzzling contradiction once. If ammonium iron(II) sulfate is a primary standard then how come once when I was reading about how dilute sulfuric acid is added to it in redox titratons; it said "the sulfuric acid helps helps to prevent the Fe2+ ions from being oxidised to Fe3+ ions by O2 in air or dissolved in water". If it's a primary standard then it shouldn't be affected by the air?

The whole agent is the reducing part, not just one part of it.

Another reaction I came across recently was: 2KI + CI2 => 2KCI + I2. In this reaction though, only the (I-) part of the 2KI was considered to be the reducing agent.
