Which of the following statements about the given reaction are correct?
3Fe (s) + 4H2O (g) → Fe3O4 (s) + 4 H2 (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)
(b) (ii) and (iv)
(c) (i), (ii) and (iv)
(d) (ii) and (iv)
Correct answer: (c) (i), (ii) and (iv)
Explanation: Iron (Fe) is combining with oxygen to form iron (II, III) oxide (Fe2O3 ). Water (H2O) itself is being reduced by the removal of oxygen to form hydrogen (H2) and is oxidising Iron(Fe), thereby acting as an oxidising agent.
