Accepted Answer
| Question: | 1 Bismuth (Bi) + 1 Iron (Fe) + 3 Oxygen (O) |
| Solution: | Iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃) and Bismuth(III) oxide (Bi₂O₃) |
| Chemical Equation: | 4Bi + 6Fe + 9O₂ → 2Bi₂O₃ + 6FeO |
| Explanation: | This reaction isn't a simple decomposition. It's a redox reaction where bismuth and iron are oxidized by oxygen. Think of it as two simultaneous combustion reactions. Bismuth and iron both react with oxygen to form their respective oxides. The balanced equation shows this. 🔥 Bi and Fe lose electrons (oxidation) while O₂ gains electrons (reduction). The products are the metal oxides. 🔬 The relative amounts of each oxide formed depend on factors like temperature and oxygen partial pressure. ⚖️ |
