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.
Answer:
16:1
Explanation:
Atoms of element X weigh 32 times more than atoms of element Y. We can write this in a symbolic way.
mX = 32 mY [1]
where,
- mX and mY are the masses of X and Y, respectively
A compound has the formula: XY₂, that is, in 1 molecule of XY₂ there is 1 atom of X and 2 atoms of Y. The ratio of the mass of X to the mass of Y in this compound equals:
mX/2 mY [2]
If we substitute [1] in [2], we get:
mX/2 mY = 32 mY/2 mY = 16 = 16:1
Answer:
The correct answer is electrons.
Explanation:
The electrons refer to the negatively charged constituents, which are arranged in the orbits around the nucleus of an atom. It determines all the chemical and physical characteristics of an atom except the radioactivity and mass. It is a stable subatomic particle witnessed in all the atoms and functioning as the chief carrier of electricity in solids.
