Which of the following oxide(s) of iron would be obtained on the prolonged reaction of iron with steam?- FeO
- Fe2O3
- Fe3O4
- Fe2O3 and Fe3O4
Correct Answer: (c) Fe304
Explanation: Iron reacts with steam (H2O) to give ferric oxide and hydrogen gas is evolved. The reaction is given as:
$3Fe(s) + 4H_2O(g) \rightarrow Fe_3O_4(s) + H_2(g)$
