The correct Answer is:
To determine if the reaction between \( \text{Fe}^{3+}(aq) \) and \( \text{I}^-(aq) \) is feasible, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions The reaction involves the reduction of \( \text{Fe}^{3+} \) to \( \text{Fe}^{2+} \) and the oxidation of iodide ions \( \text{I}^- \) to iodine \( \text{I}_2 \). 1. **Reduction half-reaction**: \[ \text{Fe}^{3+}(aq) + e^- \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{2+}(aq) \] 2. **Oxidation half-reaction**: \[ 2 \text{I}^-(aq) \rightarrow \text{I}_2(s) + 2 e^- \] ### Step 2: Find the standard electrode potentials From standard electrode potential tables, we can find the values for these half-reactions: - For the reduction of \( \text{Fe}^{3+} \): \[ E^\circ(\text{Fe}^{3+}/\text{Fe}^{2+}) = +0.77 \, \text{V} \] - For the oxidation of iodide: \[ E^\circ(\text{I}_2/\text{I}^-) = -0.54 \, \text{V} \] (Note: The standard potential for the oxidation half-reaction is the negative of the reduction potential.) ### Step 3: Calculate the standard cell potential The standard cell potential \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \] Here, \( \text{Fe}^{3+}/\text{Fe}^{2+} \) is the cathode (reduction) and \( \text{I}_2/\text{I}^- \) is the anode (oxidation). Substituting the values: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ(\text{Fe}^{3+}/\text{Fe}^{2+}) - E^\circ(\text{I}_2/\text{I}^-) \] \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.77 \, \text{V} - (-0.54 \, \text{V}) = 0.77 \, \text{V} + 0.54 \, \text{V} = 1.31 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 4: Determine feasibility A positive \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) indicates that the reaction is feasible (spontaneous). Since \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 1.31 \, \text{V} \) is positive, the reaction between \( \text{Fe}^{3+}(aq) \) and \( \text{I}^-(aq) \) is indeed feasible. ### Conclusion The reaction between \( \text{Fe}^{3+}(aq) \) and \( \text{I}^-(aq) \) is feasible. ---
