In many residential water systems, the aqueous Fe3+

Chapter 22, Problem 11P

(choose chapter or problem)

In many residential water systems, the aqueous \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) concentration is high enough to stain sinks and turn drinking water light brown. The iron content is analyzed by first reducing the \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) to \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) and then titrating with \(\mathrm{MnO}_{4}{ }^{-}\) in acidic solution. Balance the skeleton reaction of the titration step:

\(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{MnO}_{4}{ }^{-}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}(a q)\)
