JEE Advanced · Chemistry · 9. Redox Reactions

Paragraph :
Redox reaction play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology. The values of standard redox potential \(\left(E^{\circ}\right)\) of two half-cell reactions decide which way the reaction is expected to proceed. A simple example is a Daniel cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper gets deposited. Given below are a set of half-cell reactions (acidic medium) along with their \(E^{\circ}(V\) with respect to normal hydrogen electrode) values. Using this data obtain the correct explanations to Questions 14-19.
\(\mathrm{I}_2+2 e^{-} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{I}^{-} E^{\circ}=0.54 \)
\( \mathrm{Cl}_2+2 e^{-} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cl}^{-} E^{\circ}=1.36 \)
\( \mathrm{Mn}^{3+}+e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} E^{\circ}=1.50 \)
\( \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} E^{\circ}=0.77 \)
\( \mathrm{O}_2+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}+4 e^{-} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} E^{\circ}=1.23\)
Question :
Sodium fusion extract, obtained from aniline, on treatment with iron (II) sulphate and \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) in presence of air gives a prussian blue precipitate. The blue colour is due to the formation of

  1. A \(\mathrm{Fe}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_3\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Fe}_3\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Fe}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Fe}_3\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Fe}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text{Na} +\text C +\text N \longrightarrow \underset{\text {Sodium extract}}{\text{NaCN}}\)
\(\text{Fe} ^{2+}+6 \text{CN} ^{-} \longrightarrow\left[\text{Fe} (\text{CN})_6\right]_2\)
\(4 \text{Fe} ^{3+}+3\left[\text{Fe} (\text{CN})_6\right]^{4-} \longrightarrow \underset{\text {Prussian blue ppt.}}{\text{Fe} _4\left[\text{Fe} (\text{CN})_6\right]_3}\)
