Balance the equation: Fe↓2O↓3 ⇒Fe↓3O↓4 + CO↓2

Balanced chemical equation:

3Fe₂O₃ + CO → 2Fe₃O₄ + CO₂

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Fe₂O₃ + CO → Fe₃O₄ + CO₂

Balanced chemical equation:

3Fe₂O₃ + CO → 2Fe₃O₄ + CO₂

Ferric oxide react with carbon monoxide and produced ferrosoferric oxide and carbondioxide.

Ferrosoferric oxide is black ore of iron.

There are six iron atoms, ten oxygen atoms and one carbon atoms are present on both side of chemical equation.

Coefficient with reactant and product:

Fe₂O₃ 3

CO 1

Fe₃O₄ 2

CO₂ 1
