Reactants left products right
The balanced equation :
8Al + 3Fe₃O₄→ 4Al₂O₃ + 9Fe
You just have to look for which element is in bold because the question is not clear
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:
1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.
2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product
3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1
Reaction
Al + Fe₃O₄→ Al₂O₃ + Fe
give a coefficient
aAl + Fe₃O₄→ bAl₂O₃ + cFe
O, left=4, right=3b⇒3b=4⇒b=4/3
Al, left=a, right=2b⇒a=2b⇒a=2.4/3⇒a=8/3
Fe, left=3, right=c⇒c=3
The equation becomes :
8/3Al + Fe₃O₄→ 4/3Al₂O₃ + 3Fe x3
8Al + 3Fe₃O₄→ 4Al₂O₃ + 9Fe

Answer:
Experiments to determine mechanisms involve looking at indirect evidence to help support or disprove a proposed mechanism.
Most intermediates are not typically isolated to determine reaction mechanisms.
Carbocations are very reactive and are typically not isolated for analysis.
Scientists can prove that a specific mechanism exists.
Evidence of intermediates sometimes can be seen using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Explanation:
The study of reaction mechanism and chemical kinetics often form the main thrust of study in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry.
We often want to know the actual processes involved in the conversion of one specie to another. Unfortunately, this information may have to be obtained indirectly by certain chemical reactions or by the use of new instrumental methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Many organic reactions have carbocation intermediates. These carbocations are relatively short-lived and are transient intermediates which are rarely isolated unless they are isolated in a molecular cage using a macromolecule or in superacids.
By intensive study, scientists can proof or disprove the authenticity of any proposed mechanism.
We must know that a transition state has partial bonds. It is often an extremely short-lived specie which cannot be isolated.
