Answer 2

$\huge\bf\underline{Question}$

Balance the equation

$\sf{Fe+H_2O---->Fe_3O_4+H_2}$

$\huge\bf\underline{Answer}$

For balancing the above equation, we must ensure that the number of atoms of each element in LHS must be equal to that of RHS.

Lets take the molecule $\sf{Fe_2O_3}$ and balance the element $\sf{Fe}$.

We get,

$\sf{3Fe+H_2O---->Fe_3O_4+H_2}$

Now ,there are 4 atoms of $\sf{O}$ in RHS.Lets balance this.

We get,

$\sf{3Fe+4H_2O---->Fe_3O_4+H_2}$

Now the number of atoms of H has became 8 in LHS.Lets balance it.

We get,

$\boxed{\sf{\green{3Fe+4H_2O---->Fe_3O_4+4H_2}}}$

Therefore,the equation is balanced now.

Extra Information:

•Balanced Equation:

Equation in which the number of atoms of each elements of molecule is equal in the reactant as well as product side.

•Unbalanced Equation:

Equation in which the number of atoms of each elements of molecule is not equal in the reactant and product side.

Its also called skeletal chemical equation.
