Question

Write the balanced equation for vandadium (II) oxide with iron (III) oxide results in vanadium (V) oxide and iron (II) oxide.

2VO + Fe2O3 - V2O5 + 6FeO2

Not sure if the is correct. We're having to learn this on our own with just what notes we have,

iron(II) oxide is FeO and the equation as you have written it is not balanced. (check the Fe--2 on left and 6 on right. O is not balanced either. 5 on left and 17 on right.
2VO + 3Fe2O3 -> V2O5 + 6FeO

Balanced equation is ✔️✔️✔️✔️

2VO + 3FeO3 -----> V2O5 + 6FeO

I'm sorry, but that equation is not balanced. The correct balanced equation for the reaction between vanadium (II) oxide and iron (III) oxide to produce vanadium (V) oxide and iron (II) oxide is:

4 VO + 3 Fe2O3 -> 2 V2O5 + 6 FeO

This equation is balanced because there are the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction arrow.
