Oxidation state of I is (-1) and for CO it is zero. Let's assume that the oxidation state of Fe in Fe(CO)₄I₂<span> (s) is x. For whole compound, the charge is zero.

Sum of oxidation numbers in all elements = Charge of the compound.

Here we have 1Fe , 4CO and 2I
hence we can find the oxidation state as;
 x + 4*0 + 2*(-1) = 0
 x + 0 - 2            = 0
                   x     = +2
Hence the oxidation state of Fe in product </span>Fe(CO)₄I₂ (s) is +2.

Same as we can find the oxidation state (y) of Fe in Fe(CO)₅(s).
y + 5*0 = 0
   y        = 0

Since oxidation state of Fe increased from 0 to +2, the oxidized element is Fe in the given reaction.

For each reaction, identify the element that gets reduced and the element that gets oxidized. 2 AgCl + Zn ⟶ 2 Ag + ZnCl 2 2AgCl+
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

Consider the following reaction:

2AgCl + Zn  → 2Ag + ZnCl₂

In this reaction oxidation state of Zn on left side is 0 while on right side +2 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of Ag on left side is +1 and on right side 0 so it get reduced.

4NH₃  +  3O₂   →   2N₂ +  6H₂O

In this reaction oxidation state of nitrogen on left side is -3 while on right side 0 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of oxygen on left side is 0 and on right side -2 so it get reduced.

Fe₂O₃ +  2Al  →   Al₂O₃ +  2Fe

In this reaction oxidation state of iron on left side is +3 while on right side 0 so it gets reduced and oxidation state of Al on left side is 0 and on right side +3 so it get oxidized.
