Question

Give a balanced equation for the following conversation

(B). Iron to tri-iron tetroxide using steam.

Answer 1

Conversion of Iron to tri-iron tetroxide:

• Red hot iron reacts with steam to form an iron oxide with the evolution of hydrogen gas.
• The balanced chemical equation for Iron to Tri-iron tetroxide using steam is:

$\underset{\left(\mathrm{Iron}\right)}{3\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\left(\mathrm{Steam}\right)}{4{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{(\mathrm{Tri}-\mathrm{iron}\mathrm{tetroxide})}{{\mathrm{Fe}}_3{\mathrm{O}}_4\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\left(\mathrm{Hydrogen}\right)}{4{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\uparrow }$
