Step 1
First, we need to determine the oxidation states of each element in the reactants and products. FeO(s): Fe has an oxidation state of +2, and O has an oxidation state of -2. CO(g): C has an oxidation state of +2, and O has an oxidation state of -2. Fe(s): Fe has Show more…

In the following reactions, decide which reactant is oxidized and which is reduced. Designate the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. (a) $\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-}(\mathrm{aq})+3 \mathrm{Sn}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})+14 \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}(\mathrm{aq})+3 \mathrm{Sn}^{4+}(\mathrm{aq})+21 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\ell)$ (b) $\mathrm{FeS}(\mathrm{s})+3 \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+4 \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{NO}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}(\mathrm{aq})+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\ell)$
For each of the following reactions, identify the substance that is oxidized, the substance that is reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent: a. $2 \mathrm{NiS}(s)+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NiO}(s)+2 \mathrm{SO}_{2}(g)$ b. $\mathrm{Sn}^{2+}(a q)+2 \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}(a q) \longrightarrow \operatorname{Sn}^{4+}(a q)+2 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(a q)$ c. $\mathrm{CH}_{4}(g)+2 \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})$ d. $2 \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(s)+3 \mathrm{Si}(s) \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{Cr}(s)+3 \mathrm{SiO}_{2}(s)$
Oxidation and Reduction
Identify the oxidized reactant, the reduced reactant, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent in the following reactions: (a) $\mathrm{Fe}(s)+\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cu}(s)$ (b) $\mathrm{Mg}(s)+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{MgCl}_{2}(s)$ (c) $2 \mathrm{Al}(s)+\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(s) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}(s)+\mathrm{Al}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(s)$
