Chemistry
1 answer:
Alinara [238K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Most common oxidation states: +2, +3

M.P. 1535º

B.P. 2750º

Density 7.87 g/cm3

Characteristics: Iron is a gray, moderately active metal.

Characteristic reactions of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺

The [Fe(H2O)6]3+ ion is colorless (or pale pink), but many solutions containing this ion are yellow or amber-colored because of hydrolysis. Iron in both oxidation states forms many complex ions.

Aqueous Ammonia

Aqueous ammonia reacts with Fe(II) ions to produce white gelatinous Fe(OH)2, which oxidizes to form red-brown Fe(OH)3:

Fe2+(aq)+2NH3(aq)+3H2O(l)↽−−⇀Fe(OH)2(s)+2NH+4(aq)(1)

Fe3appt.gif

Aqueous ammonia reacts with Fe(III) ions to produce red-brown Fe(OH)3:

Fe3+(aq)+3NH3(aq)+3H2O(l)↽−−⇀Fe(OH)3(s)+3NH+4(aq)(2)

Fe3bppt.gif

Both precipitates are insoluble in excess aqueous ammonia. Iron(II) hydroxide quickly oxidizes to Fe(OH)3 in the presence of air or other oxidizing agents.

Sodium Hydroxide

Sodium hydroxide also produces Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 from the corresponding oxidation states of iron in aqueous solution.

Fe2+(aq)+2OH−(aq)↽−−⇀Fe(OH)2(s)(3)

Fe4appt.gif

Fe3+(aq)+3OH−(aq)↽−−⇀Fe(OH)3(s)(4)

Fe4bppt.gif

Neither hydroxide precipitate dissolves in excess sodium hydroxide.

Potassium Ferrocyanide

Potassium ferrocyanide will react with Fe3+ solution to produce a dark blue precipitate called Prussian blue:

K+(aq)+Fe3+(aq)+[Fe(CN)6]4−(aq)↽−−⇀KFe[Fe(CN)6](s)(5)

Fe5a1ppt.gif

With Fe2+ solution, a white precipitate will be formed that will be converted to blue due to the oxidation by oxygen in air:

2Fe2+(aq)+[Fe(CN)6]4−(aq)↽−−⇀Fe2[Fe(CN)6](s)(6)

Fe5a2ppt.gif

Many metal ions form ferrocyanide precipitates, so potassium ferrocyanide is not a good reagent for separating metal ions. It is used more commonly as a confirmatory test.

Potassium Ferricyanide

Potassium ferricyanide will give a brown coloration but no precipitate with Fe3+. With Fe2+, a dark blue precipitate is formed. Although this precipitate is known as Turnbull's blue, it is identical with Prussian blue (from Equation 5).

K+(aq)+Fe+2(aq)+[Fe(CN)6]3−(aq)↽−−⇀KFe[Fe(CN)6](s)(7)

Fe5b.gif

Potassium Thiocyanate

KSCN will give a deep red coloration to solutions containing Fe3+:

Fe+3(aq)+NCS−(aq)↽−−⇀[FeNCS]+2(aq)(8)

No Reaction

Cl−, SO2−4

Which of the following is not a correct chemical equation for a double displacement reaction?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

B. CaCl + LiCO3 yields CaCO3 + LiCl is not correct

It should be CaCl2 + Li2CO3  → 2LiCl + CaCO3

Explanation:

For a reaction to be double displacement reaction there are two things we need to look for

1) There must be an interchange of the group of ions

2) The reactants must dissolve in water to release ions

A. 2RbNO3 + BeF2 yields Be(NO3)2 + 2RbF

2Rb+ + NO3- + Be^2+ + 2F- → Be(NO₃)₂ + 2RbF

This is correct

B. CaCl + LiCO3 yields CaCO3 + LiCl

This is not correct

The correct equation is:

CaCl2 + Li2CO3  → Ca2+ + 2Cl- + 2Li+ + CO3^2-  → 2LiCl + CaCO3

C. Na3PO4 + 3KOH yields 3NaOH + K3PO4

3Na+ + PO4^3- + 3K+ + 3OH- → 3NaOH + K3PO4

This is correct

D. 2MgI2 + Mn(SO3)2 yields 2MgSO3 + MnI4

2Mg^2+ + 4I- + Mn^4+ + 2SO3^2- → 2 MgSO3 + MnI4

This is correct
