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.

If you have 0.50 mol of ca, how many atoms are present?
Evgen [1.6K]
Answer is: there are 3.011·10²³ atoms of calcium.

n(Ca) = 0.50 mol; amount of substance(calcium).
Na = 6.022·10²³ 1/mol;  Avogadro's constant or number.
N(Ca) = n(Ca) · Na.
N(Ca) = 0.50 mol · 6.022·10²³ 1/mol.
N(Ca) = 3.011·10²³; number of calcium atoms.
The mole is an SI unit which measures the number of particles in substance. One mole is equal to <span><span>6.022</span></span>·<span><span><span>10</span></span></span>²³<span> atoms.</span>
