Question

Balance the following equation:
d) $F e_{2} O_{3} + C O \to F e + C O_{2}$

Open in App

Solution

The skeletal equation is:
$F e_{2} O_{3} + C O \to F e + C O_{2}$

Carbons are equal on both sides, so to equalise Fe atom, multiply Fe by 2 on the product side.

$F e_{2} O_{3} + C O \to 2 F e + C O_{2}$

To equalise oxygen atom, multiply CO by 3.

$F e_{2} O_{3} + 3 C O \to 2 F e + C O_{2}$

To equalise oxygen and carbon, multiply CO2 by 3.

$F e_{2} O_{3} + 3 C O \to 2 F e + 3 C O_{2}$
The equation is balanced.
