Chapter 14, Problem 14.2P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Oxidizing and reducing reagent in below reaction has to be determined.

  ${\text{Fe}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_3+2\text{Al}\to \text{2Fe}+{\text{Al}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_3$

Concept Introduction:

Redox reaction is reaction that includes change in oxidation number of molecule, atom or ion and this changes are due to transfer of electron from one species to another. A complete reaction involves oxidation and reduction.
