Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the reaction 2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2, what is being reduced? (2020) 2020
  • Step 1: Identify the reactants in the reaction: 2Fe2O3 and 3C.
  • Step 2: Understand that reduction is the gain of electrons.
  • Step 3: Look at the oxidation states of the elements in Fe2O3 and Fe.
  • Step 4: In Fe2O3, iron (Fe) has an oxidation state of +3.
  • Step 5: In the product Fe, iron (Fe) has an oxidation state of 0.
  • Step 6: Since the oxidation state of iron decreases from +3 to 0, it means iron is gaining electrons.
  • Step 7: Therefore, Fe2O3 is being reduced to Fe.
