Question

Base your answer to the question on the information below. Iron has been used for thousands of years. In the air, iron corrodes. One reaction for the corrosion of iron is represented by the balanced equation below Equation 1: 4Fe(s) + 302(g) 2F0203(s) In the presence of water, iron corrodes more quickly. This corrosion is represented by the unbalanced equation below Equation 2: Fo(s) + O2(g) + H20(1)-Fe(OH)2(s) choice is a balanced equation that uses the smallest whole-number coefficients for the reaction for corrosion of iron? 1. 4Fe(s) 20la) 4H2O)AF (OH02(0) 2 Fo(s)+Oplg)+H2Ole) Fe(OH)2ls) 2Fe(s) + O2(g) + 2H20(1)-2Fe(OH)2(s) 2Fe(s) + 202(g) + 2H20(1) 2Fe(OH)2(s) 4,

Explanation / Answer

3 is the balanced with lowest whole number coefficients for the reaction for corrosion of iron
