Hydrogen peroxide is an effective oxidizing agent, accepting two electrons. It will oxidized
iron(II) to iron(III). This process strips some of the oxalate ion from the iron, so the product
is a mixture of Fe3+ (aq), FeC2O4

(aq). Assume that the predominant
product is Fe3+ (aq). This is a redox reaction; therefore you must balance the electrons
(charge) as well as the atoms.
