JEE 2015 Problem(Open discussion)

Here is a problem of chemistry from JEE 2015 Paper 1

http://www.fiitjeenoida.com/JEE%20(ADVANCED)-2015-SOLUTION-PAPER-1(PCM).pdf

You can have a look at Q37

It talks about reduction of Ferric ions to ferrous by using Hydrogen peroxide

I Was not able to get the answer to the problem . hence i searched youtube and got a nice practical explanation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqtr7Q-GmOY&list=PLtfEipLJrhIG7j3fFcrbMlL2g41nr1uQi&index=19

according to the practical done no choice is correct but unfortunately in official keys answer was Given as AB.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Yes , maybe the answer key is wrong ! they did'nt consider the practical view point and relieved only on the theoretical view point , BUT , also i have seen in some books earlier giving the answer as AB , so nothing can be done now , CONCLUSION : you should read more books !

Based on what percentage of reagents were used in that video usually in paper rxn with conc H2SO4 means 100% of it but in lab even conc consists ard 50% diluted H2SO4 to prevent 3rd degree burn but its chemistry so can't say confidently.

But even by theory i found a satisfactory explanation why the answer should be cd Rather

why not close the discussion then , if your doubt is resolved !

@A Former Brilliant Member – Sorry i meant CD! Typo! . i found a nice explanation why CD Should be answer rather
