Help please I'm on the 3rd room of the escape room science worksheet and I'm still struggling (also please don't ask me to downl
oad any obvious shady files for an answer cause I think that's breaking the T.O.S on brainly) Thank you!

ANSWER
The correct answer is A
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
From the equation
<u>L.H.S.</u>
Fe = 1
O =2
<u> R.H.S</u>
Fe =2
O =3
Now, let try to balance the oxygen atoms first,
To do this, we know the Least Common Multiples of 2 and 3 is 6
To get 6 atoms of oxygen at L.H.S multiply 2 by 3 and on the R.H.S, multiply 3 by 2
L.H.S.
R.H.S
This means that, 3 should be in front of at the L.H.S and 2 should come before
in the R.H.S of the equation
Now, we have
L.H.S.
Fe = 1
O = 6
<u>R.H.S</u>
Fe =4
O =6
The equation is still not balanced since Fe is not balance
The Least Common Multiple of 1 and 4 is 4
Which means that we need to multiply 1 by 4 at the L.H.S and 4 by 1 at the R.H.S
L.H.S.
R.H.S
We now, have
<u>L.H.S. </u>
Fe= 4
O=6
<u>R.H.S</u>
Fe =4
O=6
Hence the balanced equation is
