Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Question 394
Question: In the reaction, $ 4Fe+3O_2\to 4F{{e}^{3+}}+6{{O}^{2-}} $ which of the following statement is incorrect [UPSEAT 2001, 02]
Options:
A) A Redox reaction
B) Metallic iron is a reducing agent
C) $ F{{e}^{3+}} $ is an oxidising agent
D) Metallic iron is reduced to $ F{{e}^{3+}} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
$ \overset{,0}{\mathop{4Fe}},+3O_2\to \overset{3+}{\mathop{4Fe}},+6{{O}^{2-}} $ , in this reaction metallic iron is oxidised to $ F{{e}^{3+}} $ .
