What is the balanced molecular equation for dilute sulfuric acid with iron?

Answer 1

Sulfuric acid is H2SO4. Iron is Fe.

Because iron is a more active metal than hydrogen, it can displace hydrogen from the sulfuric acid.

Fe (s) + H2SO4 (aq) --> FeSO4 (aq) + H2 (g)

Answer 2

Fe + H2SO4 -> H2 + FeSO4 [If Fe is +2]

OR

2Fe + 3H2SO4 -> 3H2 + Fe2(SO4)3 [If Fe is +3]

But NOT:

Fe + 2H2SO4 -> 2H2 + Fe(SO4)2 because Fe is NOT +4 in reaction with acid.

(Only in potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) this highest oxidation +4 state is known, but cannot be made with H2SO4).

Answer 3

Fe(s) + H2SO4(aq) --> FeSO4(aq) + H2(g) I think.

Answer 4

I think it's something like this: 2Fe + 2HCl -----> 2ZnCl + H2

Answer 5

Iron II Oxide FeO + H2SO4 = FeSO4 + H2O

Iron III Oxide Fe2O3 + 3H2SO4 = Fe2(SO4)3 + 3H2O

Answer 6

the balanced chemical equation of iron and sulfur to produce iron cannot be given.But , iron and sulfur on combining form iron sulfide.Fe+ S-> Fes.

Answer 7

The balanced molecular equation for dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacting with iron (Fe) is: Fe(s) + H2SO4(aq) -> FeSO4(aq) + H2(g)

Answer 8

Fe(OH)2 + H2SO4 ---> FeSO4 + 2H2O

Answer 9

H2SO4 + Fe = FeSO4 + H2
