CSEC Chemistry · January 2012 · Paper 2 · Question 1(c)(i)

Experiment 3 involved reactions between a colourless unknown Solution X and three aqueous solutions: iron(II) nitrate, acidified potassium manganate(VII), and potassium iodide. Table 2 records two of the three observations made.

Write a balanced half-equation to represent the change which takes place when Solution X reacts with aqueous iron(II) nitrate.
