Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Formation of \(Fe(CO)_5\) from \(Fe.\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\stackrel{0}{\mathrm{Fe}}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow \stackrel{+3}{\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}} \cdot \mathrm{xH}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) \(\stackrel{0}{\mathrm{Fe}}+\mathrm{CuSO}_{4} \rightarrow \stackrel{+2}{\mathrm{FeSO}_{4}}+\mathrm{Cu}\)
