The balanced chemical equation you've provided is:
\[ 4 \text{Fe} + 3 \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 \]
To determine the total number of atoms involved in this reaction, we can count them on both sides of the equation:
- On the reactants side:
- 4 Fe (iron) atoms
- 3 O2 (oxygen) molecules contributing 6 oxygen atoms (since each O2 has 2 oxygen atoms, 3 O2 gives us \(3 \times 2 = 6\))
Adding these gives:
\[ 4 \text{Fe} + 6 \text{O} = 10 \text{ atoms} \]
- On the products side:
- 2 Fe2O3 means there are \(2 \times 2 = 4\) iron atoms and \(2 \times 3 = 6\) oxygen atoms.
Adding these gives:
\[ 4 \text{Fe} + 6 \text{O} = 10 \text{ atoms} \]
So the total number of atoms in the balanced equation is 10.
However, none of the options (A. 3, B. 6, C. 9, D. 12) directly correspond to the total number of atoms counted (10). If you're looking for something specific related to the equation that may require further context, please provide that!
