3Fe + 4H2O -----> Fe3O4 + 4H2.

Here water is passed in the form of steam.

This reaction is irreversible but the iron can be obtained by treating with a more reactive element.

SakshiChachre: Do we call this reaction "rusting of iron"?
maheshwaranlupp0yaxy: This is kinda rusting but rusting also requires oxygen.
SakshiChachre: Okay thanks a lot.
maheshwaranlupp0yaxy: Welcome.
abhilasha14: rusting requires moisture it depends that water is in which state if the water is in vapours it can cause rusting

Skeleton equation

Fe + H20 → Fe3O4 + H2

Balance equation

3Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + 4H2

Here,

Iron react with water and formed iron(|||) oxide and produce hydrogen gas. And we are not reobtain the reactants So, is not a reversible reaction, but it is irreversible reaction.
