Here is the equation:-

2Fe (s) + 3H2O (g) -----> Fe2O3 + 3H2 (g)
Iron fillings + Steam ----> Ferric oxide + Hydrogen gas.

Answer: 2Fe+3H_2O(g)\rightarrow Fe_2O_3+3H_2

Explanation: According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

As iron is a less reactive metal, it requires steam to react with it and convert to ferric oxide and hydrogen.

2Fe+3H_2O(g)\rightarrow Fe_2O_3+3H_2
