Question

what are the coefficients needed to balance the chemical equation below? *
Al+FeO-----Fe+Al2O3

Answer 1

$\boxed{\sf {Al\atop Aluminium}+{FeO\atop Ferrous\:Oxide}\longrightarrow {Fe\atop Ferrous}+{Al_2O_3\atop Aluminium\:Oxide}}$

Balanced equation:-

$\boxed{\sf {2Al\atop Aluminium}+{3FeO\atop Ferrous\:Oxide}\longrightarrow {3Fe\atop Ferrous}+{Al_2O_3\atop Aluminium\:Oxide}}$

On reactant side:-

• Aluminium=2atoms
• Ferrous=3atoms
• Oxygen=3atoms

On products side:-

• Aluminium=2atoms
• Ferrous=3atoms
• Oxygen=3atoms

Hence balanced
