Assume that the SCN has an oxidation number equal to its ionic charge of -1 in the iron (II) thiocyanate compound. Determine the oxidation state of the metal in Fe(SCN)2+.

1. Fe = +1
2. Fe = +3
3. Fe = +2
4. Fe = +5
5. Fe = +4

is the answer Fe = +3?

1. 2
2. None of these
3. 10
4. 12
5. 3
6. 4
7. 6
8. 1
9. 5

Yes, iron is a +3

HNO3 + KI ---> KNO3 + I2 + NO + H2O

Here's the net ionic:

NO3- + I- ---> I2 + NO

The half-reactions:

NO3- ---> NO
I- ---> I2

Balance them in acidic solution:

3e- + 4H+ + NO3- ---> NO + 2H2O
2I- ---> I2 + 2e-

balanced net ionic

8H+ + 2NO3- + 6I- ---> 3I2 + 2NO + 4H2O

balanced molecular:

8HNO3 + 6KI ---> 6KNO3 + 3I2 + 2NO + 4H2O
