Jack Greer · Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Fe3O4 (s) + CO (g) →FeO (s) + CO2 (g)

Left side

Fe = 3

O = 5

C = 1

Right side

Fe = 1

O = 3

C = 1

Balance by finding common denominator

We'll make Fe 3 on the left side

Fe3O4 (s) + CO (g) →3FeO (s) + CO2 (g)

Left side

Fe = 3

O = 5

C = 1

Right side

Fe = 3

O = 5

C = 1
