Ferrate anion in acidic condition is the extremely strong oxidizer. Acetic acid is the most probable product of this oxidation

Hi:

I you sure about the need for H2SO4?

Ferrates in an environment with a Ph of 7 are very short-lived.

With very strong acid, I would expect no reaction (ferrates are decomposed).
