A solution contains Fe2+, Fe3+ and I– ions. This solution was treated with iodine at 35°C. E° for Fe3+/Fe2+ is +0.77 V and E° for I2/2I– = 0.536 V.
The favourable redox reaction is:
1. Fe2+ will be oxidized to Fe3+.
2. I2 will be reduced to I–.
3. There will be no redox reaction.
4. I– will be oxidized to I2.
