Answer:
Fatty acids
Explanation:
Acetyl coA is a compound vital for the process of cellular respiration in the mitochondria. It is the starting material of the kreb's cycle or TCA cycle, which takes place in the mitochondria. During the metabolism of glucose (glycolysis), a molecule called PYRUVATE is first synthesized before becoming acetyl coA in the mitochondrion.
However, the metabolism of FATTY ACIDS (monomers of lipids) directly gives rise to acetyl coA without first becoming pyruvate. The fatty acids molecule undergo Beta- oxidation to produce acetyl coA, which enters the TCA cycle to continue cellular respiration.
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.
