Which of the following processes does not involve oxidation of iron ?
Formation of Fe(CO)5 from Fe
Liberation of H2 from steam by iron at high temperature
Rusting of iron sheets
Decolourization of blue CuSO4 solution by iron
The below reactions shows the oxidation state of iron for all given condition.
Clearly, During the formation of Fe(CO)5 from Fe, there is no change in the oxidation state of iron.
Option 1 is correct.
