Which of the following results would you expect to occur based on the section of the electrochemical series?

Question

Cl2 + 2e --> 2Cl- E= 1.36V
Fe3+ + e ---> Fe3+ E= 0.77V
Fe2+ + 2e --> Fe E= -0.41V

a. Fe3+ ions and Cl- ions will not react

b. Fe and Cl- will react to form Fe2+ and Cl2

c. Fe3+ and Cl2 will react to form Fe3+ and Cl- ions

d. Fe2+ ions will undergo a disproportionation reaction to form Fe and Fe3+ ions

Answer 1

(a) is true.

If in (c) you meant Fe2+ ions will react, yes they will. But Fe3+ ions won't.
