Iron (III) catalyses the reaction between iodide and persulphate ions, in which
A. \(Fe ^{3+}\) oxidises the iodide ion
B. \(Fe ^{3+}\) oxidises the persulphate ion
C. \(Fe ^{2+}\) reduces the iodide ion
D. \(Fe ^{2+}\) reduces the persulphate ion
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. A B only
  2. B A only
  3. C B and C only
  4. D A and D only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) A and D only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2 Fe ^{3+}+2 I ^{-} \rightarrow 2 Fe ^{2+}+ I _2\) \(2 Fe ^{2+}+ S _2 O _8^{2-} \rightarrow 2 Fe ^{3+}+2 SO _4^{2-}\) \(Fe ^{+3}\) oxidises \(I ^{-}\)to \(I _2\) and convert itself into \(Fe ^{+2}\). This \(Fe ^{+2}\) reduces \(S _2 O _8{ }^{2-}\) to \(SO _4{ }^{2-}\) and…
