Question

Translate the word equation to formulaic equation and then balance it.

Solid'iron'III'oxide'and'carbon'monoxide'gas'produce'iron'metal'and'carbon'dioxide'gas.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Reactants

Solid 'iron'III'oxide' = Fe₂O₃

'carbon'monoxide'gas' = CO

Product

'iron'metal' = Fe

carbon'dioxide'gas = CO₂

Now

Fe₂O₃
`_(s)` + 3CO
`_(g)` → 2Fe
`_(s)` + 3CO₂
`_(g)`

The reactants are positioned at the left hand side of the equation.

The products are at the right hand side

s = solids

g = gases
