Answer:

Correct Answer: 19. dry $HCl$

Solution:

  1. Both reactions in their complete format are written below

(i) In acidic medium,

$\left[Fe^{2+}(CN) _6\right]^{4-}+H _2 \stackrel{-1}{2} _2+2 H^{+} \longrightarrow\left[Fe^{3+}(CN) _6\right]^{3-}+2 H _2 \stackrel{-2}{O}$

(ii) In alkaline medium,

$$ \left[Fe^{3+}(CN) _6\right]^{3-}+H _2 O _2^{-1}+2 OH^{-} \longrightarrow \underset{ }{\left[Fe^{2+}(CN) _6\right]^{4-}+O _2+2 H _2 O} $$

Hence, $H _2 O$ (for reaction (i)) and $O _2+H _2 O$

(for reaction (ii)) are produced as by product.
