Question
What happens when sulphur dioxide is passed through an aqueous solution of Fe(III) salt?
Advertisements
Solution
SO2 acts as a reducing agent when passed through an aqueous solution containing Fe(III) salt. It reduces Fe(III) to Fe(II) i.e., ferric ions to ferrous ions.
`2Fe^(3+) + SO_2 + 2H_2O -> 2Fe^(2+) + SO_4^(2-)+4h^(+)`
