Equation is as follow,

                            Fe₂O₃  +  3 CO     →     2 Fe  +  3 CO₂

Oxidation:

                                        3 CO     →     3 CO₂

Oxidation state of C in CO is +2, and that in CO₂ is +4. So, carbon has lost 2 electrons per mole and 6 electrons per 3 moles hence,

                                 3 CO     →     3 CO₂  +  6 e⁻

Reduction:

                                    Fe₂O₃     →     2 Fe

Oxidation state of Fe in Fe₂O₃ is +3 per atom, and that in Fe is 0. So, Iron has gained 3 electrons per atom and 6 electrons per 2 atoms hence,

                                    Fe₂O₃  +  6e⁻     →     2 Fe

Result:
             Iron in Fe₂O₃ has been reduced in this reaction and has played a role of oxidizing agent by oxidizing carbon from +2 state to +4 state.

The pressure of a gas is 750 torr when its volume is 400. ml. Calculate the
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

a. 0.66 atm

Explanation:

Pi = 750 torr = 0.99 atm. Pf = ?

Vi = 400 ml Vf = 600ml

Using PiVi = PfVf

Then 400ml × 0.99atm = Pfatm × 600ml

Solving for Pf, we have,

Pf = (400ml × 0.99atm)/600ml

Pf = 0.66atm
