Which of the following processes does not involve oxidation of iron?

  1. Decolourization of blue CuSO4 solution by iron
  2. Formation of Fe(CO)5 from Fe
  3. Liberation of H2 from steam by iron at high temperature
  4. Rusting of iron sheets

Correct answer: Formation of Fe(CO)5 from Fe

Solution

Formation of Fe(CO)5 from Fe involves the coordination of CO ligands to iron without any change in the oxidation state of iron, so no oxidation occurs. The other processes involve oxidation of iron.
