What happens to iron when iron oxide becomes elemental iron?

Chemistry

The appropriate response is Reduction. It is a chemical reaction that includes the picking up of electrons. It alludes to the side that acknowledges electrons. At the point when iron responds with oxygen, it frames a concoction called rust. In that case, the iron is oxidized and the oxygen is lessened.

Answer:

Iron gets reduced from a +3 oxidation state to 0

Explanation:

The decomposition of iron oxide to elemental can be represented by the following equation:

2Fe_{2} O_{3} (s)------ 4Fe(s) + 3O_{2} (g)

In iron oxide (Fe2O3), the oxidation state of iron is +3 while that of oxygen is -2. Therefore, the above reaction is a redox (reduction oxidation reaction).

Here, iron in iron oxide gains 3 electrons and gets reduced from Fe3+ to Fe(0). Whereas, the oxygen loses 2 electrons and gets reduced from O2- to O(0).

The half reactions can be represented as:

Reduction:

Fe^{3+} + 3e- ------- Fe

Oxidation:

O^{2-} -------O + 2e-

maria [59]
In order to obtain solid NaCl, the student should do a few steps.

First, he/she should do filtration. Pass the mixture through a filter paper, where all the sand should be filtered out already because they're not dissolved in the solution plus they're too small to pass through the filter paper.

Next, the filtrate should be left with NaCl (aqueous state). To seperate NaCl with the liquid, the student can either do evaporation or crystallization, depending on how pure or fast he/she wants the results to be. Evaporation involves heating the beaker or whatever apparatus under the bunsen burner until all the liquid has evaporated. Then, some white powder should be left, they're NaCl solid. For crystallization, the student should just put the beaker on a room condition environment, and wait. They might have to wait a month or so for the liquid to completely evaporate itself and left with clear and pure NaCl crystals.
