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.

How is the periodic table important for all of science and not just chemistry? pleas answer me​
valentina_108 [34]

<em>The periodic table helps people understand what a substance's atoms can contain, which also provides information on how it can perform a specific action, or how well it can act as a base and so on. When people understand what something is made of, we can figure out what it can be used for. This makes it easier for workers to construct important structures.</em>

Write the electron configuration for N and N-3. How many electrons are in the valence energy level?
Alinara [238K]

Non-valence electrons: 1s22s22p6. Therefore, we write the electron configuration for Na: 1s22s22p63s1. What is the highest principal quantum number that you see in sodium's electron configuration? It's n = 3, so all electrons with n = 3 are valence electrons, and all electrons with n < 3 are non-valence electrons.
