Answer:
The answer to your question is b. Mg is being oxidized and c. Mg is the
reducing agent.
Explanation:
Reduction is the gain of electrons
Oxidation is the loss of electrons
Reducing agent is the element that oxidizes itself and reduces another element.
Oxidizing agent is the element the reduces itself and oxidizes another element.
In this reaction:
Magnesium loses electrons so it is being oxidized and it is the reducing agent.
Balanced equation:
2 Fe₂O₃ + 3 C → 4 Fe + 3 CO₂
number of moles of Fe₂O₃ = weight (g) / molar mass = (2.86 x 10⁴ g) / 159.69 g/mol = 179 moles
number of moles of C = (9.05 x 10³) / 12 = 754.16 moles
2 moles of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3 moles of C
so 179 moles of Fe₂O₃ need 268.5 moles of C only
so carbon present in excess (754.16) and Fe₂O₃ is the limiting reactant so the number of moles used from Fe₂O₃ will be all the 179 moles
12. F - Most of these elements are metals.
13. C - Ability to rust
<span>It was a heterogeneous mixture.
Since you were able to separate the mixture than means they are heterogeneous mixture </span>
