Question

Write a chemical equation for the reaction of:

(1) Iron with steam

Answer 1

Chemical Equation:

• Chemical equations are used to represent chemical reactions.
• This equation involves reactants on one side of the arrow and products on another side of the arrow

Reaction of iron with steam :

• The chemical equation for the reaction of iron with steam is as follows:
• $3\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+4{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)\to {\mathrm{Fe}}_3{\mathrm{O}}_4\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+4{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)$
• When red hot iron reacts with steam, iron(II, III) oxide and hydrogen gas are formed.
