I have been beating my brains out trying to solve a chemistry problem. I'm sure it is something simple that I'm just not getting, but can anyone help me? I can't get this equation to balance. Fe + CO2 > Fe2O3 +CO. I have tried to balance it several times, and I can't get it to work out. I also tried doubling since the O won't balance out. Thanks 0 Likes

Yes, it's more work, but when it's late at night, or you are taking an exam, at least you will get the right answer. 0 Likes
