Question

Which of the following is the non-physiological oxidant used by Robert Hill known as Hill reagent?

A Ferricyanide Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Ferric oxalate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C DCPIP Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D NADP^+ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

In the Hill reaction, an artificial electron acceptor, such as ferricyanide (Fe(CN)₆³⁻), is used to accept electrons from the photosystem II complex in the presence of light. Ferricyanide is a strong oxidizing agent that can accept electrons and become reduced during the reaction.
