Aquated iron (II) ions undergo a disproportionation reaction to give Fe (s) and aquated iron (III) ions. That is, iron (II) ions are both oxidized and reduced in the same reaction
3Fe2+(aq) ---------Fe (s) + 2Fe3+ (aq)
a Separate the equation for the disproportionation into two half-equations, one for oxidation and one for reduction
b decide if the equation is written in the direction of spontaneous reaction (assuming Fe3+ and Fe2+ are both 1.0 molL-1 and the temperature is 25 degrees C
c calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25 degrees C
