2. What is the oxidation number CHANGE for the iron atom in the reaction:
2 Fe2O3(s) + 3 C(s) --> 4 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g)?
If we look at Fe2O3, we see that the Fe is at +3. How do we know that? We know because the oxygens are in an oxide which are -2 charge each. Therefore, since there are three of them, the total charge is -6. Therefore, we must have +6 with the irons. Since there are two irons, each must be at oxidation state of +3. Next, we know that elemental iron (like all atoms in their elemental form) is at oxidation state of 0. Therefore, the change goes from +3 to 0 which is a change of -3.
b. -3
3. Of the following, which element ...
