Consider the equilibrium that exists between Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in solution. The extra electron originally on one Fe2+ ion can be transferred to an Fe3+ ion. This amounts to no net reaction because iron(II) becomes iron(III) and iron(III) becomes iron(II) . What is true about this equilibrium?
A) There is no activation energy for this reaction.
B) K = 1.
C) K = 0.
D) There is no net reaction, so there is no value for K.
E) The concentrations of iron(II) and iron(III) change because of the electron transfer.
