Balance the equ. representing the reaction between iron

Chemistry

Answer:

Fe₂O₃ + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO₂

Explanation:

There are many ways to balance a chemical equation. In this case, I will show you the algebraic method:

The first step is assign a letter to each compound:

a Fe₂O₃ + b CO → c Fe + d CO₂

Then, you must write the balance equations for each atom, thus:

<em>Fe: 2a = c</em>

<em>C: b = d</em>

<em>O: 3a + b = 2d</em>

The last step is assign a value to a letter. I, for example, will say that <em>a is 1, </em>and then find the values for the others letters, thus:

<em>Fe: 2a = c </em>if <em>a=1; c=2</em>

<em>O: 3a + b = 2d </em>if <em>a=1 → 3+b = 2d</em>

As b = d → <em>3+d = 2d; 3 = 2d - d; </em>3=d and 3=b

Thus, the balanced equation is:

Fe₂O₃ + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO₂

I hope it helps!
