Question

Assertion (A): Following is a balanced chemical equation for the action
of steam on iron :
3Fe + 4H,0 – Fe2O4 + 4H
Reason (R):
The law of conservation of mass holds good for a chemical
equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hello friend

here is your answer....

Explanation:

3fe+ 4H20 = Fe3O4 + 4H2..

Answer 2

Explanation:

The reason given in assertion is true because the law of conservation of mass holds good for all the chemical reactions. However the chemical equation in the assertion is not true, it is because all the reactants are not balanced. Here 3 moles of Fe cannot result is Fe2 so we can see that this equation is not a balanced chemical equation.
