i) Iron metal is getting oxidized.
ii) Water is getting reduced.
iii) Water is acting as reducing agent.
iv) Water is acting as oxidising agent.

a) i), ii) and iii)
b) iii) and iv)

d) ii) and iv) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

option c

Explanation:

iron is gaining o2 hence oxisized.

water(h2o) loses o2 to form h2.

water gives o2 in order to oxidize fe so it is oxidizing agent.

Answer 2

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

Explanation:Here, oxygen combines with water to get oxidized. Oxygen is removed from water hence, it is getting reduced. Water is providing oxygen and it acts as an oxidizing agent.
