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.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

hope this .
