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
