Question

Write the chemical equations for the following blance it

IRON+OXYGEN+WATER = IRONOXIDE

MAGNESIUM+OXYGEN = MAGNESIUMOXIDE

Answer 1

Balanced equation for the above question is as follow :

1. IRON+OXYGEN+WATER = IRONOXIDE

4 Fe + 3O₂ + n H₂O → 2 Fe2O3. n (H2O)

Or we can write it as

4 Fe + 3O₂ + 6H₂O → 4 Fe(OH)₃ which undergoes dehydration to form Fe2O3. n (H2O)

2. MAGNESIUM+OXYGEN = MAGNESIUMOXIDE

2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO.
