1. There are two indicators [Ind(1) and Ind(2)] potentially usable for the
valuation of Fe(II) with Ce(IV). The potential at the endpoint of the valuation is 1.19
V. Considering that the indicators change color when the shape ratio
the ratio of oxidized to reduced is 10: (a) Indicate if any of them is suitable for this determination;
(b) calculate the relative concentrations of the species involved in the titration in the
final point defined by the indicator deemed appropriate; (c) calculate the constant of
equilibrium of the reaction of Fe(II) with Ce(IV). Eo[Fe(III)/Fe(II)] V; Eo[Ce(IV)/Ce(III)]=
1.61 V; Eo[Ind(1)]= 0.76 V; Eo1.01 V
