Let I know the equation with symbol of 'iron2oxide from iron fillings'

FeO is iron(II)oxide. You get it by heating Fe in air (O2)
In my study,I found equation in my book.It is
Fe+C2O4H2=>C2O4Fe +H2
C2O4Fe=>FeO +CO+CO2
I do not understand that.That's right or not.
In your book the reaction between iron and oxalic acid to produce iron(II) oxalate. Then they go through a decomposition of iron(II) oxalate to form iron(II) oxide. This is a two-step synthesis. Bob Pursley gave you the direct one-step process which is far easier to do.
Thanks both.😊😊☺☺
