Chapter 4, Problem 4.124QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Chemical procedure to identify whether $F{e}^{2+}$ or $F{e}^{3+}$ is given in the sample has to be suggested.

Concept introduction:

• Oxidizing agent causes the oxidation of another substance and reducing agent causes the reduction of another substance.
• Oxidizing agent becomes reduced and reducing agent becomes oxidized.
• Chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction always occur together is called redox reaction or oxidation reduction reaction.
• Redox titration (oxidation reduction titration) is a type of titration based on a redox reaction between the analyte and titrant.
