Question

Feo + co fe + co2 the oxidising agent in the given reaction is

Answer 1

The oxidizing agent is Co.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathscr{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}$

FeO + CO → Fe + CO2

This is a redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction and FeO is the oxidising agent.

=> Oxidation reaction follows the following rules or process :

• Gaining of oxygen

• Losing of hydrogen and/or electrons.

=> Reduction reactions follows the following rules or process :

• Losing of oxygen

• Gaining of hydrogen and electron

When both oxidation and reduction reaction react, they form redox reaction.
