Question

Conversion pf Fe2O3 to Fe os a reduction reaction.why

Answer 1

Explanation: Reduction reactions are the reactions in which oxidation number is reduced of an element, which means that the element has gained some electrons.

$M^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow M(s)$

Reaction of conversion of $Fe_2O_3$ to Fe is:

$Fe_2O_3(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3H_2O(l)$

In $Fe_2O_3$, iron is in +3 oxidation state and it is getting reduced to Fe which is in 0 oxidation state.

$Fe^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Fe^0(s)$

As the oxidation number is getting reduced in iron, hence it is getting reduced.
