Typo in OCR A A2 Chemistry Textbook

Anyone notice a typo on page 185 right at the bottom where it says:
Fe2+ + 2e- <--> Fe3+

Surely it should be: Fe3+ + e- <--> Fe2+

Based on the information you've given us, I'd say that was a reasonable assumption to make :yep:

Haha yeah, and thanks! All the other typo posts I've seen have been different, can't believe nobody had spotted this one.

Not in my copy :frown: I only have the one e-.

But there is one on page 210, the complex isomers of Co2+ involve Ni2+ for some reason!
