heat In the following reaction which species is being oxidized 2fe3+ +2i- give i2+ 2fe2+

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option A

Explanation:

The reaction is given below:

$2 \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{I}^{\ominus}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{I}_{2}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})$

$+3 \quad-1 \quad 0 \quad+2$

$\mathrm{I}^{\ominus}$ is oxidised to $\mathrm{I}_{2} .$

$\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$ is the oxidising agent.

$\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$ is reduced to $\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}$

$\mathrm{I}^{-}$is the reducing agent.

Hence, the element $\mathrm{Zn}$ is oxidized. Thus, option $\mathrm{A}$ is the correct answer.
