Answer:-

Oxygen gains electrons and is reduced.

Explanation:-

For this reaction the balanced chemical equation is

4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3

When Oxygen is present as oxygen gas, the oxidation number of O is Zero since it is the only element present in Oxygen gas.

Similarly Iron is present in Fe with oxidation number Zero.

In the case of Fe2O3, Oxygen has the oxidation number -2 while Iron has +3.

So the oxidation number of Oxygen goes from Zero to -2.

Since the oxidation number decreases Oxygen is reduced.

Since reduction involves gain of electrons, Oxygen gains electrons.

The carbon cycle is closely linked to which process?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Carbon cycle involves the exchange of components between the hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere. During carbon cycle, materials such as gases, minerals which are necessary for life are interchange. For example, animals pass out faeces on the soil which is rich in urea. Urea decomposes to provide nitrogen into the soil through bioactive bacterials. The nitrogen is used up by plants to grow. During photosynthesis, plants uses carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and release oxygen for animals to use. It's like a purification system where one waste product from one organism is used by the other to survive.

Equation of photosynthesis

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

A body of mass 5kg has momentum of 125kgm/s. find the velocity of the body in motion.
borishaifa [10]

Explanation:We have momemtum = mass X velocity

    p = mv

    OR, p/m = v

    v = (125kg m/s)25kg

    v = 125/25 m/s

       v = 5 m/s
