Answer:

Oxidized : CO

Reduced: Fe

Oxidizing agent: Fe2O3

Reducing agent: CO

Step-by-step explanation:

Loss of electrons is oxidation while gaining of electrons is reduction.

CO is a reducing agent, Fe2O3 is an oxidizing agent.

Each carbon atom is oxidized in CO. CO is the reducing agent

Each Fe atom in FeO3 is reduced. FeO3 is the oxidizing agent
