Q. In the reaction  8 A l + 3 F e 3 O 4 4 A l 2 O 3 + 9 F e ,  the number of electrons transferred from reductant to oxidant is: -
  1. 8
  2. 4
  3. 16
  4. 24

Dear Student 

The given redox reaction is :

         8Al + 3Fe3O4  4Al2O3 +9Fe o.s     0          +8/3              +3           0So the oxidation occur in Al and reduction in Fe3O4 So the change in oxidation number of 1 Al atom is 3 So, Change in 8 atom will be 24 electrons

So the correct option is (4) 

Regards
