Question

The given reaction is between iron oxide and hydrogen.

Fe3O4 + 4H2→ 3Fe + 4H2O

Which option shows the compounds undergoing oxidation and reduction?

(a) Oxidation 4H2, Reduction 3Fe

(b) Oxidation 3Fe, Reduction 4H2

(c) Oxidation Fe3O4, Reduction 4H2O

(d) Oxidation 4H2O, Reduction Fe3O4 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

An oxidising agent is the one which oxidises other substances (by removal of hydrogen or addition of oxygen) and itself gets reduced (addition of hydrogen or removal of oxygen).

3Fe+4H
