Question

Using the standard electrode potentials given in the Table 8.1, predict if the reaction between the following is feasible: Fe 3+ (aq) and I – (aq)

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The possible reaction between Fe³⁺(aq) and I^–(aq) can be represented by the following equation: –

E° for the overall reaction is positive. Thus, the reaction between Fe³⁺(aq) and I^–(aq) is feasible.
