Question

3. PbO + C Pb + CO Fe2O3 + 3CO 2Fe + 3CO2 1.
What information do you get from the above equations ?
2. Identify and write the reducing agents from the equations.
4. What information you get from the balance chemical equation? Give an example?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reducing agents are those substances which reduce other substances (addition of hydrogen or removal of oxygen) and themselves get oxidised (addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen).

Fe2O3+3CO→2Fe+3CO2

In the above reaction, carbon monoxide (CO) acts as a reducing agent as it reduces ferric(III)oxide(Fe2O3) to form iron (Fe) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
