Question

What happens when steam is passed over red hot iron
also Write its chemical equations

Answer 1

Answer:

When steam is passed over red-hot iron, iron (II,III) oxide and hydrogen gas are formed. Answer: 3Fe + 4H2O = Fe3O4 + 4H2.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

When steam is passed over the red hot iron the red hot iron reduces the steam to hydrogen gas.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The equation can be written as :

3Fe(s) + 4H₂O(g) -----------> Fe3O4(s) + 4H₂(g)

The Fe₃O₄ is a mixed oxide of iron (FeO . Fe₂O₃).

This mixture is the magnetite of the Iron.

Therefore when steam is passed over heated iron the steam is reduced to hydrogen gas whereas the magnetite of the iron is formed.
