4 H2 (g)
(i) Iron metal is getting oxidised
(ii) Water is getting reduced
(iii) Water is acting as reducing
agent
(iv) Water is acting as oxidising
agent
(a) (i), (zi) and (iii)
(b) (in) and (iv)
(c) (i), (ii) and (iv)
(d) (ii) and (iv)​

Answer 1

Answer:

a

Explanation:

iron is oxidised , water reuse oxygen ,

Answer 2

Answer:

(c) (i),(ii) and (iv)

Explanation:

If reactant side you will find Fe, while in product side, you fine Fe2O3. hence we can conclude the Fe is getting oxidised and it forms Ferric Oxide. So (i) is correct

Water, on th other hand, loses Oxygen and is hence getting reduced. So (ii) is correct too.

We know that things which get oxidised act as reducing agents; and those which get reduced act as oxidising agents. Hence water is reduces and is an oxidising agent. so (iv) is also correct.

Correct option=

(c) (i),(ii) and (iv).
