Explanation:
Fe₂O₃ + CO → Fe₃O₄ + CO₂
Balancing the equation above, we can derive simple mathematical equations that are very easy to solve.
aFe₂O₃ + bCO → cFe₃O₄ + dCO₂
a,b,c and d are the coefficients needed to balance the equation above;
Conserving Fe; 2a = 3c
O: 3a + b = 4c + 2d
C: b = d
let a = 1;
c =
Since b = d
3a + d = 4c + 2d
3a = 4c + 2d - d
3a = 4c + d
a = 1, c =
3 = 4 x + d
d =
b =
multiplying a, b, c and d by 3:
a = 3 b = 1 c = 2 and d = 1
3Fe₂O₃ + CO → 2Fe₃O₄ + CO₂
