Carbon monoxide reacts with the iron (lll) oxide.
Would it be like this...
3Fe2 O3 + CO= 2Fe3 O4 + CO2
Would it be like this...
3Fe2 O3 + CO= 2Fe3 O4 + CO2
Aya said:^ so would it be like this
Fe3O + CO = 3Fe + CO2
Aya said:so
Fe2O3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO2
Is this right?
An equation is a mathematical statement that shows the relationship between two or more quantities using symbols and numbers. It usually contains an equal sign (=) and can be solved to find the value of the variables.
There are several types of equations, including linear equations, quadratic equations, polynomial equations, exponential equations, and logarithmic equations. Each type has its own unique form and method for solving.
To write an equation from a word problem, first identify the unknown quantity and assign it to a variable. Then, read the problem carefully and determine the relationship between the given quantities. Finally, use the appropriate mathematical operations and symbols to express the relationship as an equation.
Some general rules for writing equations include using proper mathematical notation and symbols, using equal sign (=) to show equivalence, and following the order of operations (PEMDAS) when simplifying the equation. It is also important to clearly label the variables and units used in the equation.
Some common mistakes to avoid when writing equations include using the wrong mathematical operations, forgetting to distribute or combine like terms, and not simplifying the equation correctly. It is also important to double-check the units and variables used in the equation to ensure they make sense in the context of the problem.
