4 Fe(s) + 3 02(g)
--> 2 Fe₂O3(s)
1. What is the oxidation state of iron (Fe) in the reactant Fe(s)?
2. What is the oxidation state of oxygen (O) in the reactant O2(g)?
3. What is the oxidation state of iron (Fe) in the product Fe2O3(s)?
4. What is the oxidation state of oxygen (O) in the product Fe2O3(s)?
5. In this reaction, iron is... (oxidized or reduced?)
6. In this reaction, oxygen is... (oxidized or reduced?)
7. What was the oxidizing agent in this reaction: Fe(s) or O2(g)?


Sagot :

The oxidation number of reactant Fe is 0 while the  oxidation number of iron in the product is +3

What s a redox reaction?

The term redox reaction implies a reaction in which there is an increase in the oxidation number of a specie and the decrease in the oxidation number of another specie.

Now we have the answers as follows;

1) The oxidation number of reactant Fe is 0

2) The oxidation number of reactant oxygen is 0

3) The oxidation number of iron in the product is +3

4) The oxidation number of oxygen in the product is -2

5). Iron is oxidized in the reaction

6) Oxygen is reduced in the reaction

7) The oxidizing agent in this case is the oxygen atom
