What type of reaction is the following? 2Fe2O3 + 3C -> 4Fe + 3CO2

Why is this not considered single displacement?

Respuesta :

Answer:

This is an oxidation/reduction reaction.

Explanation:

C is oxidized (loses electrons) and iron is reduced (gains electrons).  C goes from oxidation number zero on the left to oxidation number 4+ on the right.  Iron goes from oxidation number 3+ on the left to zero on the right.
