b. Fe3 plus ions
To separate Fe3+ ions, one can use a reagent like ammonia (NH3) which forms a complex with Fe3+ ions called iron(III) hydroxide. This complex precipitates out of the solution, allowing for the separation of Fe3+ ions from other components in the mixture.

oxygen
In the reaction MnO2 + 4HCl -> MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O, manganese in MnO2 is getting oxidized from +4 to +2 (in MnCl2). Chloride ions in HCl are being reduced to chlorine gas (Cl2).
Potassium thiocyanate can be used to confirm the oxidation of Fe2+ ions to Fe3+ ions by forming a blood-red complex with Fe3+, known as iron(III) thiocyanate. Upon the addition of potassium thiocyanate, if a blood-red color formation is observed, it indicates the presence of Fe3+ ions, confirming the oxidation of Fe2+ ions.
FeCl3
sodium, Na is oxidized
In this reaction, zinc (Zn) is oxidized to form zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) while copper (Cu2+) in copper sulfate (CuSO4) is reduced to copper (Cu). The zinc loses electrons (oxidized) to form zinc sulfate, while the copper gains electrons (reduced) to form solid copper.
b. Fe3 plus ions
Fe + 3AgNO3 ==> Fe(NO3)3 plus 3Ag The oxidation number of Ag in AgNO3 (on the left side) is 1+ and in Ag (on the right side), it is zero. Thus, in this reaction, silver (Ag) has been reduced.
To separate Fe3+ ions, one can use a reagent like ammonia (NH3) which forms a complex with Fe3+ ions called iron(III) hydroxide. This complex precipitates out of the solution, allowing for the separation of Fe3+ ions from other components in the mixture.
A. Fe^2+ ==> Fe^3+ + e- is an oxidation reactionB. Fe^3+ +e- ==> Fe^2+ is a reduction reactionC. Fe(s) ==> Fe(l) is neither an oxidation nor a reduction reaction. It is a phase change.D. Fe + 2e- ==> Fe^2+ is not a possible reaction.
ferrous ion act as reducing agent as it will be oxidized into ferric
