Hi,

I'm wondering what the difference between Hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid  Hydroxylamine sulphate is?

Thanks

Update...
...actually I don't need to know the details of the difference but whether or not these different names can be substituted for the other.
In other words where I need Potassium ferricyanide can I use potassium hexacyanoferrate and where I need Hydroxylamine sulphate can I use Hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid?

Thanks

Hydroxyl ammonium sulphate NH3OH+ HSO4- and Hydroxylamino-O-sulfonic acid NH2-O-SO3H are different substances.

Potassiumferricyanide and Potassiumhexacyanoferrate-III are the same. Important is the III what means oxidation number of the iron is 3. Potassiumhexacyanoferrate-II is called potassium ferro cyanide.
