A solution contains Fe2+, Fe3+ and I- ions. This solution was treated with iodine at 35°C. E° for Fe2+/ Fe3+ is +0.77 V and E° for I2/ 2I-=0.536 V. The favourable redox reaction is:
I2 will be reduced to I-
There will be no redox reaction
I- will be oxidised to I2
Fe2+ will be oxidisedto Fe3+
Standard Electrode Potential Value -
-
Since the reduction potential of is greater than that of , will be reduced and will be oxidised.
Option 1)
I2 will be reduced to I-
This is incorrect option
Option 2)
There will be no redox reaction
This is incorrect option
Option 3)
I- will be oxidised to I2
This is correct option
Option 4)
Fe2+ will be oxidisedto Fe3+
This is incorrect option
