Problem

K3[Fe(CN)6]\mathrm{K_3[Fe(CN)_6]} is used in the detection of Fe2+\mathrm{Fe^{2+}} ions, with which it gives a deep blue colour. This colour is due to the formation of: (1) K2Fe[Fe(CN)6]\mathrm{K_2Fe[Fe(CN)_6]} (2) Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3\mathrm{Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3} (3) Fe[Fe(CN)6]\mathrm{Fe[Fe(CN)_6]} (4) Fe3[Fe(CN)6]2\mathrm{Fe_3[Fe(CN)_6]_2}
