Problem

Before adding the reagents of group III, the solution is heated with some concentrated HNO3\text{HNO}_3 in order to: (1) oxidise Fe2+\text{Fe}^{2+} to Fe3+\text{Fe}^{3+} (2) oxidise Cr3+\text{Cr}^{3+} to Cr2O72−\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} (3) lower than pH (4) increase the NO3−\text{NO}_3^-
