When the equation below is balanced,the coefficient of the product is:
Fe + O₂ → Fe₂O₃

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the balanced equation, Fe₂O₃ is the product, which means it is on the right side of the arrow. The only way to balance the equation is to put a 2 in front of Fe, a 3 in front of O₂, and a 2 in front of Fe₂O₃. This gives us the balanced equation: 2Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃. Therefore, the coefficient of the product (Fe₂O₃) is 2.
