what is the oxidising agent to reduce Fe2+
KMnO-
what is the half equation for the reduction of Fe2+
5Fe 2+ → 5Fe3+ + 5e (oxidation)
what is the half equation for the half cell of the oxidising agent of Fe2+?
MnO4- + 5e + 8H+ ——> Mn2+ + 4H2O
what is the colour change regarding the oxidation of Fe2+
green( Fe2+) to orange ( Fe3+)
what is the colour change regarding the oxidising agent used in oxidation of Fe2+
Purple (MnO4-) to colourless Mn2+
what is the reducing agent used to reduce Fe3+?
I- ions (ie from KI)
write the half equation for the reduction of Fe3+
Fe3+ + e —–> Fe2+
write the half equation for the oxidation of the reducing agent of Fe3+
2I- → I 2 + 2e
what is the colour change observed in Fe3+ reduction.
orange -> green however masked by production of I2 which forms a brown colour.
