how does a reaction between iron and steam different from the reaction of steam with some other matter
Answers
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.
So, my questions are as follows:
What type of a reaction is it? (I think it's a displacement reaction but from what I know, there are ions present in a displacement reaction).
Why have we combined FeO and Fe2O3 resulting in the formation of Fe3O4? (According to me, mixtures and compounds are two different things and that we can't combine them.)
