Please let me know if my equation is correct,taken from the following word problem.

Question

If you react Iron(111)oxide with carbon monoxide,you will produce liquid iron and carbon dioxide.

Fe2O3 + CO --> Fe + CO2.

If I'm correct..how do I balance this.

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Fe2O3 + 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO2.
I remind you that in iron(III) oxide, the III are capital "eyes" and not "ones".
