Hello Paulinej

A)
i)   2Fe + O2 -> 2FeO
ii)  2Fe + 3O2 -> 2Fe2O3
iii) Fe2+ + 2e- -> Fe
     O2 + 2e- -> 2O-
     Fe3+ + 3e- -> Fe

B) The process of converting liquid ammonia to gaseous ammonia is an
endothermic reaction.  An endothermic reaction requires heat to make
it start.  At its most simplest form in a refrigerator, ammonia gas is
compressed to a liquid and then circulated around pipes at the back of
the refrigerator, as the liquid evaporates to a gas it cools the
fridge.  The refrigerator is cooled because heat is taken from inside
the refrigerator to convert the ammonia from liquid form to a gaseous
form.
