Correct Answer - Option 3 : Both 1 & 2

The correct answer is Both 1 & 2.

  • In  the given chemical reaction, 
    • 3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) → Fe3O4(s) + 4H2(g)
  • The iron is getting oxidised and water is acting as an oxidising agent.

  • An oxidizing agent is a reactant that removes electrons from other reactants during a redox reaction.
  • A reducing agent is an element or compound that loses an electron to an electron recipient in a redox chemical reaction.
