Principle The reduction, as the reversal of the oxidation, can be achieved thermally or with the aid of a reducing agent. Some metal oxides can be decomposed into the metal and oxygen under the influence of thermal energy. In the case of less noble metals, a reducing agent is required for obtaining the elements. The redox processes during the preparation of lead demonstrate the relationship between oxidation and reduction. Benefits Stable and safe setup due to solid stand material Tasks Reduction of iron oxide including the formation of hydrogen based on pyrophoric iron. Learning objectives Reduction Oxidation Redox reaction Iron
