Study Notes
Standard Oxidation Potentials of I2/I- System
- The standard oxidation potential of I2/I- system has a relatively low value of +0.54 V at 25°C.
Reducing Agents Oxidized with Free Iodine
- Reducing agents with E0 < +0.54 V can be oxidized with free iodine.
- Examples of such reducing agents include:
- Sn4+/Sn2+ (E0 = +0.15 V)
- S4O62-/S2O32- (E0 = -0.08 V)
- S/S2- (E0 = -0.55 V)
Reactions of Reducing Agents with Free Iodine
- Sn2+ + I2 → Sn4+ + 2I
- S2O32- + I2 → S4O62- + 2I
- S2- + I2 → S + 2I
Oxidizing Agents Reduced by Iodide Ions
- Oxidizing agents with E0 > +0.54 V can be reduced by iodide ions.
- Examples of such oxidizing agents include:
- MnO4- / Mn2+ (E0 = +1.52 V)
- ClO3- / Cl- (E0 = +1.45 V)
- Cr2O72- / Cr3+ (E0 = +1.3 V)
Reactions of Oxidizing Agents with Iodide Ions
- MnO4- + 10 I- + 16 H+ → Mn2+ + 5I2 + 8 H2O
- ClO3- + 6 I- + 6 H+ → Cl- + 3I2 + 3 H2O
- Cr2O72- + 6 I- + 14 H+ → 2Cr3+ + 3I2 + 7 H2O
Systems with Oxidation Potentials Near to I2/I- System
- AsO43-/AsO33- (E0 = +0.55 V) has an oxidation potential near to that of the I2/I- system.
