1.	Which of the following statements about thegiven reaction are correct?3Fe(s) + 4H20(g) â Fe3O4(s) + 4H2(g)(i) Iron metal is getting oxidised(ii) Water is getting reduced(iii) Water is acting as reducing agent(iv) Water is acting as oxidising agent(A)(i), (ii) and (iii)(C) (i), (ii) and (iv)(B) (ii) and (iv)11i) and (iV(D) (ii) and (iv)11) and (iV
Answer» <p>In the given reaction, there isadditionof oxygen to iron metal and it isoxidised. Also, there isremovalof hydrogen from the water and thus, water is reduced. A substance which causes oxidation of other chemical species in a chemical reaction and itself undergoes reduction, is known as anoxidisingagent. Thus, in given reaction, water is acting as anoxidisingagent.</p><p>c). i, ii and iv is the right answer</p>
