The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
Which type of atom is expected in the reactants of this chemical reaction?
[tex]4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3[/tex]
A. Iron (Fe)
B. Gold (Au)
C. Nitrogen (N)
D. Chlorine (Cl)
Answer: The atom which is expected as the reactant in the given chemical reaction is iron (Fe)
Explanation:
In a chemical equation, the chemical species are termed as reactants or products.
- Reactants are defined as the species which react in the reaction and are written on the left side of the reaction arrow.
- Products are defined as the species which are produced in the reaction and are written on the right side of the reaction arrow.
For the given chemical reaction:
[tex]4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3[/tex]
The reactants to the given chemical reaction are iron (Fe) metal and oxygen gas [tex](O_2)[/tex]
The products to the given chemical reaction is iron (III) oxide [tex](Fe_2O_3)[/tex]
Hence, the atom which is expected as the reactant in the given chemical reaction is iron (Fe)
