In the following reaction, which is the species being oxidised ? `2Fe^(3+) (aq) + 2I^(-) (aq) rarr I_2 (aq) + 2Fe^(2+) (aq)`

A

`Fe^(3+)`

B

`I^(-)`

C

`I_(2)`

D

`Fe^(2+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
b) O.N. of `I^(-)` is -I and in `I_2`, O.N. is zero (loss ofelectrons). Hence `l^(-)` oxidised.
