In the given reaction, Fe is the reducing agent and V is the oxidizing agent.
An atom or compound that loses its electrons to other substances in a reduction-oxidation reaction and gets oxidized to a higher valency state is called a reducing agent.
A reducing agent can be defined as one of the reactants of a redox reaction that reduces the other reactant by giving its electrons to the reactant. If the reducing agent can not give away its electrons to others in a reaction, then the reduction reaction cannot occur.
Given, the following chemical reaction:
2Fe + 3V₂O₃ → Fe₂O₃ + 6VO
The V₂O₃ oxidation state of V:
2 x + 3(-2) = 0
2x = 6
x = + 3
The Fe₂O₃ oxidation state of Fe:
2 y + 3 (-2) = 0
2y = 6
y = + 3
The V acts as an oxidizing agent because it accepts one electron to change the oxidation state from +3 to +2.
Fe acts as a reducing agent because it gives out its electrons to change the oxidation state from 0 to +3.

Explanation:
Fe- reducing agent (since it is oxidized to fe203)
v203- oxidizing agent(since it is reduced)

(2) Acids and bases are both H+ donors.
(3) Acids are H+ acceptors, and bases are H+ donors.
(4) Acids are H+ donors, and bases are H+ acceptors.
Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
According to Bronsted and Lowry, acids are the species which can donate hydrogen or ions.
Whereas bases are the species which can accept hydrogen or ions.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement acids are donors, and bases are acceptors describes an alternate theory of acids and bases.
