What happens when a metal is reduced. Give an example of a metal being reduced

Chemistry
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The oxidation number of the metal decreases

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

The metal element iron, is reduced from Fe⁺³ in Fe₂O₃ to Fe⁺² in FeO

Explanation:

When an element gains electron, the element becomes reduced, hence when a metal is reduced, the metal gains electrons, which reduces the oxidation number of the metal

An example of a metal being reduced is;

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

In the above reaction, the iron (III) oxide is reduced to iron (II) oxide by aluminium metal.

Explain what makes insulative materials work most effectively.
KengaRu [80]

Explanation:

To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

ss7ja [257]

Gold is found in pure state in nature but not the iron because gold is un-reactive metal, so it does not react with other element in normal condition but iron is reactive metal so it reacts with atmospheric oxygen in presence of moist (water) to form oxide.

Explanation:

I hope it'll help you.
