How do you obtain pure iron from iron(iii) sulfate

Question

chmvijay · Answer

just by reduction

chmvijay · Answer

is that you wanted or something more you need

anonymous · Answer

can u explain a little in detail like the chemicals needed to be added

.sam. · Answer

Electrolysis?

chmvijay · Answer

by single dispalcment reaction also he can do using proper metal :)

.sam. · Answer

$$2Fe+3CuSO_4 \rightleftharpoons 3Cu+Fe_2(SO_4)_3$$

anonymous · Answer

so by using electrolysis we can collect iron?

chmvijay · Answer

yaaa LOL you can :)

.sam. · Answer

Half reaction should be
$$Fe^{3+}+3e^- \rightarrow Fe$$

.sam. · Answer

Cathode

chmvijay · Answer

and what is anode lol by the way

.sam. · Answer

$$Cu \rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-$$

chmvijay · Answer

LOL 
Fe + CuSO4 ---->Cu +FeSO4

.sam. · Answer

@amstro yeah, from equation
$$2Fe+3CuSO_4 \rightleftharpoons 3Cu+Fe_2(SO_4)_3$$
---------------------------------------------------
Half reaction (Anode)
$$Cu \rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-$$
---------------------------------------------------
Half reaction (Cathode)
$$Fe^{3+}+3e^- \rightarrow Fe$$
You'll see deposits of solid irons on the cathode
