Explanation:

Balanced chemical reaction equation will be as follows.

$2Fe^{2+}(aq) + 2H^{+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$

In human body, the neutral iron changes into $Fe^{2+}$ (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: $2H^{+}(aq) + 2e^{-} \rightleftharpoons H_{2}(g)$ ...... (2)

On adding both equation (1) and (2), the overall reaction equation will be as follows.

$2Fe^{2+}(aq) + 2H^{+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$

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 $Fe^{2+}$ cation.
