Explain iron (ii) ions are both oxidized and reduced

Reference no: EM13517086

Aquated iron (II) ions undergo a disproportionation reaction to give Fe (s) and aquated iron (III) ions. That is, iron (II) ions are both oxidized and reduced in the same reaction
3Fe²⁺(aq) ---------Fe (s) + 2Fe³⁺(aq)

a Separate the equation for the disproportionation into two half-equations, one for oxidation and one for reduction

b decide if the equation is written in the direction of spontaneous reaction (assuming Fe³⁺and Fe²⁺ are both 1.0 molL^-1and the temperature is 25 degrees C

c calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25 degrees C
