Question 24
F

A student adds a few drops of iron(III) solution to a mixture of potassium iodide and potassium peroxodisulfate solutions. The reaction happens in two steps.

Step 1: 2Fe3++2I−→2Fe2++I2\mathrm{2Fe^{3+} + 2I^{-} \rightarrow 2Fe^{2+} + I_{2}}2Fe3++2I−→2Fe2++I2​

Step 2: 2Fe2++S2O82−→2Fe3++2SO42−\mathrm{2Fe^{2+} + S_{2}O_{8}^{2-} \rightarrow 2Fe^{3+} + 2SO_{4}^{2-}}2Fe2++S2​O82−​→2Fe3++2SO42−​

Which species acts as the catalyst for the overall reaction?

[1]
A

Fe2+\mathrm{Fe^{2+}}Fe2+

B

Fe3+\mathrm{Fe^{3+}}Fe3+

C

I2\mathrm{I_{2}}I2​

D

SO42−\mathrm{SO_{4}^{2-}}SO42−​
