Answer:
The chemical equation of the given statement is
Fe2O3 + 3H2 ------ 2Fe + 3H2O.
Explanation:
When a metal oxide reacts with hydrogen gas, it forms the pure metal and releases water as a by-product. Because the valences of iron, hydrogen, and oxygen are different, the chemical equation needs to be balanced. To balance the chemical equation, after setting up a skeletal equation, we must first check the number of oxygen atoms on both sides. Then balance the hydrogens and finally balance the metal on both sides. In this case the metal is iron
Hence the balanced chemical equation of the given statement
Fe2O3 + 3H2 -------- 2Fe + 3H2O
