Choose the correct statement(s) for the following reaction: 8fe(s) + s8 (s) → 8 fes (s) (a) iron is being oxidized. (b) iron is being reduced. (c) sulfur is being oxidized. (d) sulfur is being reduced

(a) Iron is being oxidized.

(d) Sulfur is being reduced.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following redox reaction.

8 Fe(s) + S₈(s) → 8 FeS(s)

Iron is being oxidized according to the following oxidation half-reaction:

Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(s) + 2 e⁻

Sulfur is being reduced according to the following reduction half-reaction:

S₈(s) + 16 e⁻ → 8 S²⁻(s)

space exploration has led to the development and technological improvement of many everyday items. (if this answer is wrong i will find the right answer) : )

i think the answer is terrae but not 100 percent sure. ▓▬▬ §
