Question

Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO2 as a word equation

Answer 1

Answer:

Iron Oxide + Carbon monoxide == Iron + Carbon dioxide

Answer 2

Ferric oxide + carbon monoxide → Iron + Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

• The word equation represents the reaction taking place in the form of words.
• The oxidation of iron in reactant is +3 so it will be written as ferric.
• In the given reaction ferric oxide is reacting with 3 moles of carbon monoxide to give 2 moles of iron metal and 3 moles of carbon dioxide.
• The given reaction can be written as:

        Ferric oxide + carbon monoxide → Iron + Carbon dioxide
