2 K2FeO4 + 2 NH3 + 5 H2SO4 → N2 + Fe2(SO4)3 + 2 K2SO4 + 8 H2O
This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): NH3 is a base, H2SO4 is an acid.
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
2 N-III - 6 e- → 2 N0 (oxidation)
2 FeVI + 6 e- → 2 FeIII (reduction)
NH3 is a reducing agent, K2FeO4 is an oxidizing agent.
Reactants:
- K2FeO4 – Potassium ferrate(VI)
- NH3
- Names: Ammonia , Azane (only intended for use in naming derivatives of ammonia) , Hydrogen nitride
- Appearance: Colourless gas ; Colourless gas or compressed liquefied gas with pungent odour ; Colorless gas with a pungent, suffocating odor. [Note: Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas. Easily liquefied under pressure.]
