#1
Front (Question)

what is the most common oxidation state and why

Back (Answer)

2+ represents loss of electrons from the 4s subshell

#2
Front (Question)

why is Fe3+[Ar]3d5 more stable than Fe2+[Ar]3d6

Back (Answer)

electron configurations with half filled 3d subshell are more stable than others

#13
Front (Question)

what 3 things affect the redox potential for transition metal ion being reduced

#14
Front (Question)

give the equation for the redox titration between iron (II) and manganate (VII)

Back (Answer)

5Fe2+ + MnO4- + 8H+ —-> Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2O

#15
Front (Question)

what are redox titration based on

Back (Answer)

redox titrations are based on change in oxidation state

#16
Front (Question)

what is the colour change for the redox titration between iron (II) and manganate (VII)

Back (Answer)

permanent pink due to MnO4- being present (self indicating)

#17
Front (Question)

write an equation for the redox titration of ethanedioate and manganate (VII)

Back (Answer)

5C2O4 2- + 2MnO4- + 16H+ —-> 10CO2 + 8H2O + 2Mn2+

#18
Front (Question)

what would you expect when you carry out a redox titration of ethanedioate and manganate (VII) (2 marks)

Back (Answer)

• permanent pink due to MnO4- being present (self indicating) • effervescence due to CO2
