In chemical reaction of potassium ferrocyanide and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of dil. H 2 S O 4
Options
- AFerrocyanide gets reduced to ferricyanide
- BFerrocyanide gets oxidised
- CIron does not change its oxidation state
- DHydrogen peroxide is oxidised
Correct answer
B. Ferrocyanide gets oxidised
Step-by-step solution
In reaction of potassium ferrocyanide and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of dil. H 2 S O 4 [ F e ( C N ) 6 ] 4 - is oxidised by H 2 O 2 into [ F e ( C N ) 6 ] 3 - ions. 2 K 4 [Fe ( CN ) 6 ] + H 2 O 2 → 2 K 3 [Fe ( CN ) 6 ] + 2 KOH
