    What is Iron Ore?

    • Iron ore are mined rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be extracted. Iron ore is usually found in the form of magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite and siderite.

    • Iron ore are mined rocks and minerals which are usually found at extremely high altitudes

    • Iron ore are mined rocks and minerals which contain highly toxic materials like

    • All of the Above

    Correct Answer
    A. Iron ore are mined rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be extracted. Iron ore is usually found in the form of magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite and siderite.
    Explanation
    Iron ore is a type of rock or mineral that contains metallic iron, which can be extracted. It is commonly found in the form of magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite, and siderite. This means that iron ore is not found at extremely high altitudes or contain highly toxic materials. The correct answer provides the accurate definition of iron ore and its typical forms.

    What is a reducing agent?

    • A substance that may be harmful if swallowed

    • A substance that chemically reduces other substances, especially by donating an electron or electrons.

    • A substance that chemically reduces other substances by adding protons

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A substance that chemically reduces other substances, especially by donating an electron or electrons.
    Explanation
    A reducing agent is a substance that chemically reduces other substances by donating an electron or electrons. It is not necessarily harmful if swallowed, and it does not reduce other substances by adding protons. Therefore, the correct answer is that a reducing agent chemically reduces other substances by donating an electron or electrons.

    What is an oxidizing agent?

    • A chemical compound which is moderately toxic by ingestion

    • A chemical compound which takes the oxygen completely out of atoms

    • A chemical compound that readily transfers oxygen atoms

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A chemical compound that readily transfers oxygen atoms
    Explanation
    An oxidizing agent is a chemical compound that readily transfers oxygen atoms. This means that it is capable of accepting electrons from other substances, causing them to lose electrons and become oxidized. This process is often accompanied by the transfer of oxygen atoms. Therefore, an oxidizing agent is a compound that facilitates oxidation reactions by transferring oxygen atoms to other substances.

    What is the definition of reduction?

    • The state where there is a loss of electron

    • The complete transfer of 10 electrons to a molecular entity

    • The complete transfer of one or more electrons to a molecular entity.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The complete transfer of one or more electrons to a molecular entity.
    Explanation
    Reduction is the process in which one or more electrons are transferred to a molecular entity. This can result in a decrease in the oxidation state of the entity and is often accompanied by a gain of negative charge. The correct answer states that reduction involves the complete transfer of one or more electrons to a molecular entity, which accurately describes the process.
