To balance the chemical equation for the reaction between iron III oxide Fe2O3 and aluminum Al to produce iron Fe and aluminum oxide Al2O3 , we need to ensure that the number of atoms for each element is equal on both sides of the equation.Unbalanced equation: Fe2O3 + Al Fe + Al2O3First, balance the iron Fe atoms:2Fe2O3 + Al 4Fe + Al2O3 Since there are 4 Fe atoms on the right side, we need 2 moles of Fe2O3 on the left side Next, balance the aluminum Al atoms:2Fe2O3 + 6Al 4Fe + 2Al2O3 Since there are 6 Al atoms on the right side, we need 6 moles of Al on the left side Now, the balanced chemical equation is:2Fe2O3 + 6Al 4Fe + 2Al2O3
