Which element is oxidized in the reaction below? fe(co)5 (l) + 2hi (g) → fe(co)4i2 (s) + co (g) + h2 (g)
a.c?

Respuesta :

The element which is oxidized  in  the  reaction below 
that is

Fe(Co)5  (l) +  2 Hi (g)=  Fe (CO)4 i2(s) +Co (g)+H2 (g)  is

 Fe   this is because   fe in Fe(CO)5  compound move from oxidation state  of  Positive five (5^+)  to  oxidation  state  of  positive  six ( 6^+)  in Fe(CO)4i2  compound.   fe  is  oxidized  by Hi  while  Hi  itself is  reduced  by   Fe,therefore Fe  act as a  reducing agent

The element which gets oxidised in the given chemical reaction is Iron (Fe) due to change in oxidation no. from +5 to +6.

What is oxidised substance?

Those substances which undergo through a oxidation reaction will known as oxidised substance.

Oxidation is a process in which addition of oxygen or removal of elctron or hydrogen atom takes place.

Given chemical reaction is:

Fe(Co)₅(l) + 2 HI(g) → Fe(CO)₄I₂(s) + CO(g) + H₂(g)

In the above chemical reaction, oxidation number of iron atom (Fe) changes from +5 to +6 means one electron is removed from the atom, it means oxidation process takes place. And oxidate state of hydrogen changes from +1 to 0 means it gets reduced.

Hence oxidized element is Iron (Fe).
