The correct Answer is:
To determine which series of reactions correctly represents the chemical reactions related to iron and its compounds, we will analyze each proposed series step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the First Series - **Reaction**: Iron (Fe) + Chlorine (Cl2) + Heat → Iron(III) Chloride (FeCl3) - **Analysis**: This reaction is correct as iron reacts with chlorine to form iron(III) chloride when heated. - **Next Reaction**: Heating FeCl3 in the presence of air → Iron(II) Chloride (FeCl2) - **Analysis**: This reaction is incorrect. Heating FeCl3 in the presence of air should lead to oxidation, forming iron oxide (Fe2O3) instead of reduction to FeCl2. ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Series - **Reaction**: Iron (Fe) + Oxygen (O2) + Heat → Iron(II,III) Oxide (Fe3O4) - **Analysis**: This reaction is correct as iron reacts with oxygen to form magnetite (Fe3O4). - **Next Reaction**: Fe3O4 + Carbon Monoxide (CO) → Iron(II) Chloride (FeCl2) - **Analysis**: This reaction is incorrect. Fe3O4 does not directly yield FeCl2 upon treatment with CO. Instead, it should yield iron metal (Fe) after reduction. - **Next Reaction**: Further treating with CO and heat → Iron (Fe) - **Analysis**: This reaction is correct as CO can reduce iron oxides to iron metal. ### Step 3: Analyze the Third Series - **Reaction**: Iron (Fe) + Dilute Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) → Iron(II) Sulfate (FeSO4) - **Analysis**: This reaction is correct as iron reacts with dilute sulfuric acid to form iron(II) sulfate. - **Next Reaction**: FeSO4 + Oxygen → Iron(III) Sulfate (Fe2(SO4)3) - **Analysis**: This reaction is incorrect. The formation of Fe2(SO4)3 from FeSO4 in the presence of oxygen is not straightforward and should also produce sulfur oxides. - **Next Reaction**: Heating Fe2(SO4)3 → Iron (Fe) - **Analysis**: This reaction is incorrect as heating would not yield iron directly; sulfur oxides would also be produced. ### Step 4: Analyze the Fourth Series - **Reaction**: Iron (Fe) + Oxygen (O2) + Heat → Iron(II) Oxide (FeO) - **Analysis**: This reaction is correct as iron can react with oxygen to form iron(II) oxide. - **Next Reaction**: FeO + Dilute Sulfuric Acid → Ferrous Sulfate (FeSO4) - **Analysis**: This reaction is correct as FeO reacts with dilute sulfuric acid to produce ferrous sulfate. - **Next Reaction**: Heating FeSO4 → Iron (Fe) - **Analysis**: This reaction is incorrect as heating FeSO4 would yield iron oxides and sulfur oxides, not iron metal. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the proposed series of reactions, the second series contains the correct sequence of reactions related to iron and its compounds, despite having an error in the transition from Fe3O4 to FeCl2. ### Final Answer The correct series of reactions related to iron and its compounds is the **second series**. ---
