Concept introduction:
Balanced Chemical equation:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation which contains same elements in same number on both the sides (reactant and product side) of the chemical equation thereby obeying the law of conservation of mass.
Balancing the equation:
- There is a Law for conversion of mass in a chemical reaction i.e., the mass of total amount of the product should be equal to the total mass of the reactants.
- First write the skeletal reaction from the given information.
- Then count the number of atoms of each element in reactants as well as products.
- Place suitable coefficients in front of reactants as well as products until the number of atoms on each side (reactants and products) becomes equal.
Explanation of Solution
Given,
While balancing the equation, the subscripts cannot be altered but coefficients can be changed. There are two iron atoms in the left side and one iron atom in the right side of the reaction. Therefore, two iron atoms are added to right side of reaction. Now, the balanced equation is given below.
Three molecule of carbon monoxide is added to the left side of the reaction and three molecules of carbon dioxide is added to the right side of the reaction. Now, the balanced equation is given below.
