18|Feb|2008 1When a mixture of iron (II) oxide and carbon is heated, iron(II) oxide is
reduced to iron and carbon is oxidized to carbon dioxide. The equation as:
FeO(s) + C(s) —> 2Fe(s) + CO2(g)
Carbon is oxidized. Thus (B) is Incorrect.
Carbon is acting as the reducing agent, thus (C) is Incorrect.
Carbon Dioxide is the end-product, not Carbon monoxide, thus (D) is Incorrect.
Fe2+ has indeed gained 2 electrons (-ve charges) to form Fe(s) metal.
Therefore, correct answer should be (A).
Hope this helps.
