JEE Main 2024 — 8 April, Shift 1 — Question 70

Iron (III) catalyses the reaction between iodide and persulphate ions, in which

A. Fe3+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} oxidises the iodide ion

B. Fe3+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} oxidises the persulphate ion

C. Fe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{2+} reduces the iodide ion

D. Fe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{2+} reduces the persulphate ion

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. Option A:

    B and C only

  2. Option B:

    B only

  3. Option C:

    A only

  4. Option D:

    A and D only

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

2Fe3++2I−⟶2Fe2++I22 \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+2 \mathrm{I}^{-} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+\mathrm{I}_{2}

2Fe2++S2O82−⟶2Fe3++2SO42−2 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+\mathrm{S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{8}{ }^{2-} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+2 \mathrm{SO}_{4}{ }^{2-} Fe+3\mathrm{Fe}^{+3} oxidises I−\mathrm{I}^{-}to I2\mathrm{I}_{2} and convert itself into Fe+2\mathrm{Fe}^{+2}.

This Fe+2\mathrm{Fe}^{+2} reduces S2O82−\mathrm{S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{8}{ }^{2-} to SO42−\mathrm{SO}_{4}{ }^{2-} and converts itself into Fe+3\mathrm{Fe}^{+3}.
