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.

Which of the following electron configurations are written incorrectly?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

The electronic configuration that are incorrectly written is 1s²2s³2p⁶, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of the elements corresponds to how all the electrons of an element are arranged in energy levels and sub-levels.

There are 7 energy levels —from 1 to 7— whose sublevels are described as s, p, d and f.

All electronic configurations begin with the term "1s" —corresponding to the sublevel s of level 1— so 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴ are incorrectly written. In addition, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷ is written incorrectly because is impossible to jump from the sublevel "s" to the sublevel "d" —which is found from level 3 and up— without passing through the sublevel "p".

In the case of 1s²2s³2p⁶, the wrong thing is that the sublevel "s" can only hold two electrons, not three.

The other options are correctly written.
