Oxidation of Fe2+to Fe3+ 9. Measure and pour 150mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) into the clean 600mL beaker. 10. Use a weigh boat and scale to measure and transfer approximately 3g cream of tartar(KC4HsO) into the 600mL beaker. 11. Stir the solution with the stir rod until the cream of tartar is evenly distributed throughout the hydrogen peroxide. 12. Place the thermometer in the iron acetate solution in the flask and record the initial temperature (Time = 0) in Table 3 13. Observe and record the color of the iron acetate solution (prepared in Part 1) in Table 3" (1 g of steel wool & 4.5% Acetic Acid, C2H40) 14. Add 15 mL of the iron acetate solution from the flask to the 600 mL beaker. Record the temperature and color of the solution in Table 3 every ten seconds for two minutes; or, until you see a color change take place. You will see a marked increase in temperature as the reaction proceeds. Gently stir the solution as the reaction proceeds. Bubbles should form as carbon dioxide is released.

Explanation / Answer

Q1: in the above reaction fe2+ loses one electron and convert into fe3+ its change in oxidation no is 1.

the corresponding half equation is below

The colour change also indicate the formation of Fe3+.

The

{Fe2+ = Fe3+ e}×2

H2O2 + 2H2+= 2 H2O

Overall reaction is

2fe2+ H2O2 2H+= 2 Fe3+ 2H2O

Q2: this is the indirect redox reaction in which energy is rraleased in the form of heat . an indirect redox reaction i s that in which both half take place in same container.therefore as the reaction proceed temperature rises.

Q:3 the example of redox reaction which occur in our daily life is rusting of iron in which the following reaction ocuur

2Fe. O2. 4H+= 2fe2+ 2 H2O
