Question

Name the oxidant and reductant in the following Al+Fe203 = Al2O3 + Fe. also tell me how to do it. urgent. plz​

Answer 1

Answer:The oxidizing agent is

Ferrous oxide or Fe2O3.

And,

The reducing agent is aluminium or Al.

============================

Explanation: Oxidizing agents (or oxidants) are those compounds, which MAKE THE OTHER COMPOUND to gain oxygen ions or loose hydrogen ions.

SIMILARILY,

Rducing agents (or reductants) are those compounds or atoms which MAKE THE OTHER COMPOUNDS OR ATOMS to loose oxygen ions or gain hydrogen ions.(they get oxidized and the other compounds get reduced. )

============================

Example÷

=======

Now,

Lets solve it for your sake.

1. Lets write the equation

Plz don't mind for case letters.

Fe2O3 + al --------> al2O3 + Fe

2.Here, you can see aluminium is reacting with ferric oxide to MAKE IT LOOSE OXYGEN IONS (in the form of O3). Hence it is the reducing agent. [Note that it itself gets oxygen ions. ]

3. Here, you can see how Fe2O3 is responsible for oxidizing Aluminium. Hence it is COMPELLING ALUMINUM TO GAIN OXYGEN BY LOOSING ITS OWN OXYGEN IONS. Hence it is the Oxidizing agent.

============================

Hope you understand.
