Which of the following processes does not involve oxidation of iron?
Decolourization of blue solution by iron
Formation of from
Liberation of from steam by iron at high temperature
Rusting of iron sheets
As learnt in
Oxidation states -
Transition elements have a variety of oxidation states but the common oxidation state is +2 for 3d metals.
-
The reaction goes as follows:
Clearly, there is no change in oxidation state of iron.
