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.

a) What substances are present in an aqueous buffer composed of HC2H3O2 and C2H3O2 - ?b) What happens when LiOH is added to a bu
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

a) HC₂H₃O₂, C₂H₃O₂⁻, H₃O⁺, H₂O, OH⁻

b) HC₂H₃O₂ + LiOH ⇄ H₂O + LiC₂H₃O₂

c) C₂H₃O₂⁻ + HBr ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + Br⁻

Explanation:

a) In a HC₂H₃O₂/C₂H₃O₂⁻ buffer system, the following reactions take place:

HC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O ⇄ C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₃O⁺

C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + OH⁻

Thus, the species present are: HC₂H₃O₂, C₂H₃O₂⁻, H₃O⁺, H₂O, OH⁻.

b) When LiOH is added to the buffer system, it is partially neutralized according to the following equation.

HC₂H₃O₂ + LiOH ⇄ H₂O + LiC₂H₃O₂

c) When HBr is added to the buffer system, it is partially neutralized according to the following equation.

C₂H₃O₂⁻ + HBr ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + Br⁻
