Be sure to answer all parts. For the complete redox reactions given here, write the half-reactions and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents. Make sure your answer has the simplest coefficients. Part 1 out of 4 (a) 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3 Select the oxidizing agent:

Answer : is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

Explanation :

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The balanced redox reaction is :

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction :

Reduction reaction :

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 4 and reduction reaction by 3 then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation reaction :

Reduction reaction :

In this reaction, is the reducing agent that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets oxidized and is the oxidizing agent that gain an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets reduced.

Thus, is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be
