1.	Following reaction describes the rusting of iron 4Fe +3O_(2) rarr 4Fe^(3+) +6O^(2-) .Which one of the following statement is incorrect .
Answer» This is an example of a redox reaction METALLIC iron is reduced to `FE^(3+)` `Fe^(3+)` is an oxidising agent Metallic iron is a REDUCING agent Solution :In RESTING of Fe, Fe gets oxidized and oxygen undergoes reduction .
