Question

draw a neat labelled diagram to show the reaction of iron with steam. Write the chemical equation of the reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

While studying about reversible reactions, my professor stated that the following reaction is a reversible reaction:

Fe+H2O↽−−⇀Fe3O4+H2

• She also stated that the product Fe3O4 is formed by a mixture of FeO and Fe2O3. However, there was no mention of the type of reaction or the reason due to which the mixture of FeO and Fe2O3 resulted in the formation of Fe3O4.
