Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Law of conservation of mass states that " Mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products".
Also we know that In a balanced equation the total number of atoms in the reactants equals the total number of atoms in the product.
We are given with 4Fe + 3O₂ i.e the reactant.
First Let's calculate the number of atoms in the reactant.
- No. of atoms in Fe = 4
- No. of atoms in O = 3 × 2 = 6
Now, Let's find the product .
Also, We can see 2Fe₂O₃ (Product)
- No. of atoms in Fe = 2 × 2 = 4
- No. of atoms in O = 2 × 3 = 6.
4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃
Number of atoms in the reactants = the total number of atoms in the product.
Therefore, 2Fe₂O₃ (Option 3) will the required answer .
