Answer:
Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)
Explanation:
Concept tested: Balancing of chemical equations
- A chemical equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on the products and reactants of the equation.
- Balancing chemical equations ensures that chemical equations obey law of conservation of mass.
- In this case; to balance the above equation we put the coefficients, 1, 3, 2, and 3 on the reactants and products.
- Therefore; the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is;
Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)
