a) For the following REDOX reaction is crucial in the steel industry to produce iron. Assign oxidation numbers to each atom (in all reactants and products) and identify the oxidizing agent and reducing agent

Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) -> 2Fe(s) + 3CO2(g)

b) True or False. The reducing agent in a REDOX reaction undergoes a loss of electrons

c) True or False.The reducing agent in a REDOX reaction undergoes a decrease in the value of its oxidation number
