Which of the following statements about the given reaction are correct?
3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) → Fe3O4 (s) + 4H2 (g)- Iron metal is getting oxidised
- Water is getting reduced
- Water is acting as a reducing agent
- Water is acting as an oxidising agent
(a) (i), (ii) and (iii)
(b) (iii) and (iv)
(c) (i), (ii) and (iv)
(d) (ii) and (iv)
Correct Answer: (c) (i), (ii) and (iv)
Explanation: In the above reaction, water acts as an oxidizing agent, hence, it gets reduced to hydrogen while oxidizing Iron to iron oxide.
