Explanation:
Balanced chemical reaction equation will be as follows.
In human body, the neutral iron changes into (aq) cation. There will be an oxidation-half reaction and a reduction-half reaction. Equations for this reaction are as follows.
Oxidation: 2Fe^{2+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + 2e^{-}[/tex] .... (1)
Reduction: ...... (2)
On adding both equation (1) and (2), the overall reaction equation will be as follows.
Therefore, neutral iron is a part of Heme - b group of Hemoglobin and in an aqueous solution it dissolutes as a part of Heme group. Hence, then it becomes an cation.
