Its crystal hydrate is heptahydrate at normal temperature, commonly known as "green alum", light green crystal, which is weathered in dry air, oxidized to brown basic ferric sulfate in wet air, becomes tetrahydrate at 56.6 ° C, and becomes hydrate at 65 ° C. Ferrous sulfate is soluble in water and almost insoluble in ethanol. Its aqueous solution oxidizes slowly in the air when it is cold, and oxidizes quickly when it is hot. Adding alkali or dew can accelerate its oxidation. Relative density (D15) 1.897. It is irritating.
