Gold is your answer .-.

Answer 2

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Which type of atom is expected in the reactants of this chemical reaction?

`4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3`

A. Iron (Fe)

B. Gold (Au)

C. Nitrogen (N)

D. Chlorine (Cl)

Answer: The atom which is expected as the reactant in the given chemical reaction is iron (Fe)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a chemical equation, the chemical species are termed as reactants or products.

• Reactants are defined as the species which react in the reaction and are written on the left side of the reaction arrow.
• Products are defined as the species which are produced in the reaction and are written on the right side of the reaction arrow.

For the given chemical reaction:

`4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3`

The reactants to the given chemical reaction are iron (Fe) metal and oxygen gas
`(O_2)`

The products to the given chemical reaction is iron (III) oxide
`(Fe_2O_3)`

Hence, the atom which is expected as the reactant in the given chemical reaction is iron (Fe)
