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.
Answer: heat
Explanation:
Water at solid is called ICE. This ice absorbs HEAT from its environment, and undergoes a process called melting to convert to liquid, this transition occurs at the melting point of ice
Answer: The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal given is 
.
Explanation:
Given: Mass = 225 g
Change in temperature = 
Heat energy = 1363 J
The formula used to calculate specific heat is as follows.
where,
q = heat energy
m = mass of substance
C = specific heat
= change in temperature
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal given is .
