Question
(Incorrect)
A mixture of molten salts contains the following ions:
Mg2+, Fe³+, Zn²+, Br- and I -.
Which ion will be reduced first when the mixture undergoes electrolysis.
Br₂ + 2 e 2 Br
1₂+2 e 21-
Fe³+ + 3 e →
Zn²+ + 2 e → Zn
Mg²+ + 2 e → Mg
I- (Your answer)
Br
Mg2+
Zn²+
Fe³+ (Correct answer)
= 1.07 V
= 0.54 V
= -0.036 V
= -0.76 V
= -2.37 V
