Question

Complete the following word equations and write balanced molecular equations for the same : $\mathrm{Iron}+\mathrm{steam}\to$

Answer 1

Word Equation: When we pass the steam on red hot Iron, it produces the Iron oxides.

• $\underset{(\mathrm{Red}\mathrm{hot})}{\mathrm{Iron}}+\mathrm{steam}\to \mathrm{Triferric}\mathrm{tetroxide}+\mathrm{Hydrogen}$

Molecular Equation :

• $\underset{(\mathrm{Red}\mathrm{hot})}{3\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Steam}}{4{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\rightleftharpoons {\mathrm{Fe}}_3{\mathrm{O}}_4\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+4{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)$
