2Al + Fe2o3 -> 2Fe + Al2o3 What is oxidized, reduced, and unchanged?

ramen:

Just need a bit of help for my last assignment....

ramen:

nvm I think I got it... the o3 is unchanged, Al is oxidized and Fe is reduced. I'm not 100% sure though.

ramen:

Yup, I was just tentative on which elements were in those categories.

So that's correct \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Yep that's right. Oxidation is a method in which electrons are lost and thus the element's oxidation number rises. Reduction is when electrons are obtained and thus the element's oxidation number reduces.

justus:

Oxidant is Ag. Reductant is Fe.

ashyboy007:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @justus Oxidant is Ag. Reductant is Fe. \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Nvm.. it's right

justus:

One second

justus:

I think the oxidizing agent is Fe2O3 and reducing is Al because Fe2O3 is reduced to Fe on the other hand Al is oxidized to Al2O3.

justus:

@ramen

ashyboy007:

Yea, it's right bcs O was added in Al and Fe lost O

ramen:

So is anything unchanged?

justus:

I don't believe so.

ramen:

Ok thanks for your help guys
