H2 + FeO = H2O + Fe

H_2 (hydrogen) + FeO (iron(II) oxide) ⟶ H_2O (water) + Fe (iron)

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2 + FeO ⟶ H_2O + Fe Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2 + c_2 FeO ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 Fe Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, Fe and O: H: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 Fe: | c_2 = c_4 O: | c_2 = c_3 Since the coefficients are relative quantities and underdetermined, choose a coefficient to set arbitrarily. To keep the coefficients small, the arbitrary value is ordinarily one. For instance, set c_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | H_2 + FeO ⟶ H_2O + Fe
