Question

When potassium iodide is added to an aqueous solution of potassium ferricyanide, a reversible reaction is observed in which a complex $P$ is formed. In a strong acidic medium, the equilibrium shifts completely towards $P$. Addition of zinc chloride to $P$ in a slighty acidic medium results in a sparingly soluble complex $Q$.
