please help me in theases three questions please tell me the answers and explain the reaction and concept insight.

 

Reaction of iron with steam release

The oxidising agent in the reaction CuO + H2  Cu +h20 is?

When a chemical reaction absorbs heat energy, the reaction mixture becomes 

(a) Red hot iron reacts with steam to form ferrosoferric oxide with the evolution of hydrogen gas.

 3 Fe + 4H₂O →  Fe₃O₄ + 4H₂↑

(b) CuO + H₂  → Cu + H₂O

In this reaction, hydrogen acts as a reducing agent and reduces copper oxide to copper. This reaction is a reduction reaction.

Cu⁺²  + 2e^-   →  Cu( Reduction)

At the same time, hydrogen is oxidised to water by the oxidising agent copper oxide and this is an oxidation reaction.

2H  - 2e-   → 2H⁺(Oxidation reaction)

Thus, the net reaction is redox reaction.

(c) When a chemical reaction absorbs heat energy, the reaction is said to be endothermic and the reaction mixture cools down.
