iron. Specifically (Chem.), denoting those compounds in which iron has a higher valence than in the
ferrous compounds; as, ferric oxide; ferric acid.
Ferric acid (Chem.), an acid, H2FeO4, which is not known in the free state, but forms definite salts,
analogous to the chromates and sulphates. Ferric oxide (Chem.), sesquioxide of iron, Fe2O3; hematite.
See Hematite.
Ferricyanate (Fer`ri*cy"a*nate) n. [Ferri- + cyanate.] (Chem.) A salt of ferricyanic acid; a ferricyanide.
Ferricyanic (Fer`ri*cy*an"ic) a. [Ferri- + cyanic.] (Chem.) Pertaining to, or derived from, a ferricyanide.
Ferricyanic acid (Chem.), a brown crystalline substance, H6(CN)12Fe2, obtained from potassium
ferricyanide, and regarded as the type of the ferricyanides; called also hydro-ferricyanic acid, hydrogen
ferricyanide, etc.
Ferricyanide (Fer`ri*cy"a*nide) n. [Ferri- + cyanide.] (Chem.) One of a complex series of double cyanides
of ferric iron and some other base.
Potassium ferricyanide (Chem.), red prussiate of potash; a dark, red, crystalline salt, K6(CN)12Fe2,
consisting of the double cyanide of potassium and ferric iron. From it is derived the ferrous ferricyanate,
Turnbull's blue.

Ferro- (Fer"ro-) (Chem.) A prefix, or combining form, indicating ferrous iron as an ingredient; as, ferrocyanide.
Ferrocalcite (Fer`ro*cal"cite) n. [Ferro- + calcite.] Limestone containing a large percentage of iron
carbonate, and hence turning brown on exposure.

acid; a ferrocyanide.
Ferrocyanic (Fer`ro*cy*an"ic) a. [Ferro- + cyanic: cf. F. ferrocyanique.] (Chem.) Pertaining to, derived
from, or designating, a ferrocyanide.
ferrocyanic acid (Chem.), a white crystalline substance, H4(CN)6Fe, of strong acid properties, obtained
from potassium ferrocyanide, and regarded as the type of the ferrocyanides; called also hydro-ferrocyanic
acid, hydrogen ferrocyanide. etc.
