<h3>Answer:</h3>

            The Iron atom got oxidized.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                        In inorganic chemistry Oxidation and Reduction reactions are defined as,

Reduction:

                 The reaction in which an atom accepts electrons is known as reduction reaction.

Example:

                                      2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     2 NaCl

In this reaction Chlorine oxidation state has changed from 0 to -1. Hence, it has gained one electrons therefore, it is designated as being reduced.

Oxidation:

                 The reaction in which an atom looses electrons is known as reduction reaction.

Examples:

                                      2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     2 NaCl

In this reaction Sodium's oxidation state has changed from 0 to +1. Hence, it has lost one electrons therefore, it is designated as being Oxidized.

                                       2 Fe + 3 O₂    →     2 FeO

In this reaction Iron's oxidation state has changed from 0 to +2. Hence, it has lost two electrons therefore, it is designated as being Oxidized.

Describe the displacement method for measuring the volume of an object
jeyben [28]
<span>Volume is a measure of the amount of space an object takes up. When a cylinder is submerged in the water it pushes water out of the way. If you measure the amount the water level increases, you can find the volume of the water pushed out of the way. </span>

You are on the Titanic and want to find something that will float because you didn't
damaskus [11]

Find volume of pillow

L=78cm

B=55cm

H=25cm

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow V=LBH

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow V=25(78)(55)

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow V=107250cm^3

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow V=10.72m^3

Now

Mass=5.5kg

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow Density=\dfrac{5.5}{10.72}

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow Density=0.5kg/m^3

Density of water=1000kg/m^3

As it is less than density of water it will float on water
