  4. D \(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The reaction between iodide ions and persulphate ions is represented by the equation \(2 \mathrm{I}^{-} + \mathrm{S}_{2}\mathrm{O}_{8}^{2-} \rightarrow \mathrm{I}_{2} + 2\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\). This reaction is known to be catalyzed by iron(III) ions, \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\). The…
