Fe2O3 (s) + 3CO (g) -----> 2Fe (s) + 3CO2 (g) This is just the balanced chemical equation. It says nothing about the actual method and reaction conditions for performing the reaction. The mixture would most likely need to be heated signficantly. Why worry about dealing with carbon monoxide, when simple carbon will do? Again, significant heating of the mixture is required. 2Fe2O3 (s) + 3C (s) -----> 4Fe (s) + 3CO2 (g)

∙ 12y agowell translate that into the formulas and you have
Fe2O3 + CO -> Fe + CO2
two irons on left, one iron on right. so balance the irons
Fe2O3 + CO -> 2 Fe + CO2
now... balance the O.. you have 4 O on the left and 2 on the right
Fe2O3 + CO -> 2 Fe + 2 CO2
but the carbons arent balanced... sooo make CO and CO2 both 3
Fe2O3 + 3 CO -> 2 Fe + 3 CO2

∙ 14y agoI think that the reaction of CO is with the oxide Fe2O3.

What is the correct balanced equation for iron oxide?
As a matter of fact, there are two types of 'iron' : Ferrous(Fe2+) and Ferric(Fe3+)You should say either Ferric Oxide(Fe2O3) or Ferrous Oxide(FeO).Ferric Oxide balanced equation : 4Fe + 3O2 ===> 2Fe2O3Ferrous Oxide balanced equation : 2Fe + O2 ===> 2FeO
What is the balanced equation for iron oxide and nitric acid?

What is the word equation for the reaction between iron oxide and carbon monoxide?
The symbol equation for the reduction of iron ore with carbon monoxide is Fe2O3 + 3CO ----> 2Fe + 3CO2. Iron is extracted from its oxide ores, primarily hematite, by reduction with carbon monoxide in a blast furnace.
What substance in the iron extraction process reduces iron oxide to iron?
It is carbon (in the form of coke) that is added to blast furnaces to reduce iron oxide and recover the iron. This is the usual explanation, though most believe that it is the action of carbon monoxide that is involved. The equation for the reaction between iron oxide and carbon that produces iron and carbon monoxide is this one:2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2

Must a balanced equation must have the same compounds on each side of the equation?
A balanced equation does not have the same compounds on each side of the equation. A balanced equation has the same atoms on each side of the equation. You are taking some elements or compounds and creating different compounds. For example, you may be taking Iron Ore and Coal to produce Iron. 2FeO + C -> 2Fe + CO2. You take 2 molecules of Iron Oxide and one molecule of Carbon. You get 2 molecules of Iron and one molecule of Carbon Dioxide. That is how steel mills work. Look at your stove. It is made from iron. It began as Iron Ore and Carbon.

What is the balanced equation of ferric oxide and hydrochloric acid from the reaction of ferric chloride and water?
There are different types of iron oxide. Iron (III) oxide is used in the following equation: acid + metal oxide -> metal salt + water hydrochloric acid + iron oxide -> iron chloride + water 6HCl + Fe2O3 -> 2FeCl3 + 3H2O
