Method:
1) Find the atomic number in a periodic table: the number of electrons equal the atomic number
2) Use Aufbau rule

The relative humidity shows us saturation of water in air. Since it is 58% and not 100% we have to scale density that we were given when humidity is 100%.
At 100% humidity, density is 20grams/cubic meter
at 58% it will be:
0.58 * 20 = 11.6 g/m^3
Since the question is to find density, the answer cannot be in %.
Answer is 11.6 g/m^3
Answer:
The equation is Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ Fe + CO₂.
The balanced reaction equation is Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂.
Explanation:
First, we have to write our equation. It's actually pretty straightforward - first we look for our reactants (looks like it's Fe₂O₃ and CO), then we look for our products (Fe and CO₂). Then, we have to balance it so that both sides have the same number of both element.
Currently, we have the equation Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ Fe + CO₂. There are 2 Fe atoms, 4 O atoms, and 1 C atom on the left side. There is 1 Fe atom, 2 O atoms, and 1 C atom on the right side.
First thing we can do is give our Fe on the right side a coefficient of 2. This will make it equivalent to the 2 Fe atoms on the left side:
Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ 2Fe + CO₂
Next, we need to make sure that we have the same number of C and O atoms on each side. This takes a little bit of thinking, but what we have to do is give CO a coefficient of 3 and CO₂ a coefficient of 3. This gives us 6 O atoms on the left side (when we include the O₃) and 6 O atoms on the right side (since there are 3 O₂ atoms and 3 times 2 is 6). Here's what that looks like:
Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂
And that's how I balanced the equation. It can be confusing, but with enough practice, it will get easier and easier. :)
