Answer: B
Explanation: The clouds act almost like a lid. Think of it like when you put tin foil over food before it goes in the oven. so that even after it is removed from the heat the tin foil traps it causing it to stay warm.
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.
Answer: A. Is decomposition
B. Is synthesis where Na combines with Cl to form NaCl
C. Is single displacement or replacement. Mg displaces Cu.
