    This document describes an oxidation-reduction reaction between iron(II) sulfate and acidified potassium permanganate solutions. The reaction forms an orange solution from a pale green and purple starting solutions. It is an redox reaction because the permanganate ion is reduced, gaining electrons and changing from purple to colorless, while the iron(II) ion is oxidized, losing electrons and changing from pale green to orange iron(III).

    When fresh iron(II) sulfate solution is added to acidified


    potassium permanganate solution, a pale green solution and a purple solution react
    to form an orange solution.

    Justify why this is an oxidation-reduction reaction. Your answer should include:


    • Species linked to the provided observations
    • An explanation of oxidation and reduction in terms of electron transfer or
    oxidation number change
    • Balanced half and full equations

    Answer:

    The potassium permanganate is purple because the permanganate ion is purple. During the
    reaction purple permanganate ions changes to colourless manganese ions.
    When this change happens the permanganate ion gains 5 electrons and is reduced.
    Reduction occurs when there is a gain of electrons.

    The pale green iron (ii) ion changes to the iron (iii) ion which is orange.
