Test for Cu2+, Fe3+, and Zn 6 M NaOH is added to a clear solution that may contain the three ions until the solution is basic. A dark precipitate forms. The precipitate totally dissolves in 6 M H2SO4.

Answer:

No, Fe^3+will not interfere

Step-by-step explanation:

Whether of not the two ions will interfere will depend on the region of the visible spectrum where they absorb.

Now Fe^3+ at a wavelength of 600nm for the determination of Cu^2+ ion will not interfere. This is because, Fe^3+ absorbs in the blue (450-480 nm) region while Cu+2 absorbs in the yellow (560-600 nm) region then appears blue in color.
