23. A satellite moving at the same velocity in space is an example of which law?
a. Ist
b. 2nd
C. 3rd

A. LST

Explanation:

• 1st Law: The path of each planet around the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus.

• 2nd Law: The line from the Sun to any planet sweeps out equal areas of space in equal time intervals.

• 3rd Law: The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the average distance

Explanation:

2 Fe2O3(s) + 3 C(s) → 4 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g)

In the given reaction, Iron in the reactants side have the oxidation number of +6. This is because with has oxidation state -6, So any atom with it would have an oxidation state of +6 to give the resultant of zero.

In the products side, Iron acts as a free element reacting with no other atom. So, as per the rule of oxidation states, the oxidation state of Iron in the products side will be zero.

So, the oxidation number changes from +6 to 0 .

Extra Info: Decrease in oxidation state is Reduction , So Iron is being reduced here.
