The correct answer is option C, that is, it is reduced.

In reduction and oxidation reactions, reduction refers to the loss of an oxygen atom from a molecule or the gaining of one or more electrons. A reduction reaction is observed from the perspective of the molecule being reduced, as when one molecule gets reduced, another one gets oxidized. The complete reaction is called a redox reaction.

In the given case, iron gains electrons mean that it is reduced.

A 35.66g sample of copper is heated using 600j of energy. if the original temperature of the copper is 85C what is its final tem

ira [324]

This problem is providing the mass, energy, initial temperature and specific heat of a sample of copper that is required to calculate the final temperature.

Thus, we recall the general heat equation:

$Q=mC(T_f-T_i)\\$
