Question

Which of the following oxides of iron would be prolong on reaction with steam?
(a) FeO
(b) Fe2O3
(c) Fe3O4
(d) Fe2O3 and Fe3O4
please explain it properly and don't spam​

Answer 1

Answer:

Iron is a metal that will not directly react with cold water or hot water but forms a metal oxide when steam is passed over it.  When red hot iron reacts with steam it forms iron(II,III) oxide and hydrogen, and the reaction is reversible.

3Fe+4H2O →Fe3O4+4H2

​Therefore answer is (c) Fe3O4  

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Iron do not react with cold or hot water, but it reacts with steam to form metal oxide and hydrogen.

3Fe+4H2O = > Fe3O4+4H2

side note ;actually Fe3O4 is a mixture of

ferrous oxide (FeO) and ferric oxide (Fe2O3)

The answer is option C

Hope you got it

Have a great day !!!!!!!!!!!iiiiiiiiiii
