Explanation / Answer

In case of 5 and 6 there is no suitable reactant(oxidizing agent) to react with Fe(NH4)2SO4 and HI. hence no reaction will occur and thus there is no formation of products.

In case of 7 and 8 the oxidizing agent H2O2 reacts with Fe(NH4)2SO4 and KI and forms the corresponding oxidized and reduced products

The reactions may be given as

H2O2 reacts with Fe(NH4)2SO4 in presence of acidic medium (H2SO4) to form Fe2(SO4)3 and H2O

The two half reactions may be written as

2Fe^2+ ----> 2Fe^3+ + 2e- (oxidation)

H2O2 +2H+ + 2e- ----> 2H2O (reduction)

The overall reaction may be written as

H2O2 + 2Fe^2+ + 2H+ -----> 2Fe^3+ + 2H2O

In this reaction, Iron is oxidized and peroxide is reduced

Similarly, H2O2 reacts with KI to form H2O and I2

The reaction may be written as

2I- ---> I2 + 2e- (oxidation)

H2O2 + 2H+ + 2e- ----> 2H2O (reduction)

Overall reaction may be written as

H2O2 + 2KI + H2SO4 ---> K2SO4 + 2H2O + I2
