Answer: the second option: <span>Iron is being oxidized
</span>
Explanation:
1) Oxidation is the increase of the oxidation state (number) due to the loss of electrons.
2) In the given reaction, you can see that in the left side the atom is Fe.
When an element (atom) is not combined (or combined with it self) its oxidation state is 0.
3) In the right side of the given equation you that iron is now in form of cation with charge 2+: Fe²⁺.
That means that the new oxidation state of the element is 2+.
4) This change in the oxidation state, of course, is accompanied by the loss of the two electrons: 2e⁻.
5) Conclusion: the iron has oxidized by losing two electrons and increasing its oxidation state from 0 to 2+.

Gas particles lose their energy during collisions
Answer:
change the concentration of one reactant while keeping the other concentrations constant
Explanation:
For a given reaction;
A + B --> C + D
The reaction rate may be given as;
Rate = k[A][B]
In the above rate equation, the orders of both reactants ( A and B) is 1 . Reaction order is basically how the concentration of the reactant affect the rate of the equation.
The correct option is;
change the concentration of one reactant while keeping the other concentrations constant.
That way, one can monitor how a particular reactant affect the rate of the reaction.
