this process of iron reacts with vapour to form iron oxide(haematite) is known as corrosion


saumya0077: plz don't write question
saumya0077: explain it if u can

fe+H2o(vapour)=fe3O4


saumya0077: its not explain
venky4567: its take more time to explain
venky4567: so I took short cut
venky4567: I can explain
surajtiwari68701: react with steam to form metal oxide and hydrogen. Iron reactswith water to form ferrsoferric oxidealong with the release of Hydrogen. 3Fe + 4H2O Fe3O4 + 4H2.(Thereaction is reversible). ... Red hot iron reacts with steam to form iron (II,III)oxide and hydrogen.
venky4567: will you want it
surajtiwari68701: This is the explanation
saumya0077: u r right bt i want to know hw fe3o4 form...okkk
surajtiwari68701: Iron actually does not react with cold or hot water.It reacts with steam and gets oxidised to iron(II)(III)oxide i.e. FeO.Fe2O3.This is combinely written as Fe3O4. It is also named as ferrosoferric oxide.Actually no compound like Fe3O4 is formed.

The balanced chemical equation for reaction of iron with steam is

3Fe+4H2→FeO.Fe2O3+4H2
surajtiwari68701: did you understand
