Explain first-row transition metal properties

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 4

Oxidation state change

A redox cycle in a industrial sample audit changes a transition metal from \(+2\) to \(+3\). Calculate the oxidation-state increase. Use the labelled diagram or spectrum before giving the answer. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the HL chemistry evidence.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
