The Balanced Chemical Equation for the Reaction When Molten Iron

Multiple Choice

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction when molten iron reacts with water to form ferrous ions and hydrogen gas is:

A) 2Fe(l) + 2H₂O(l) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 3OH^-(aq) + 2H₂(g)
B) Fe(l) + 2H₂O(l) → Fe²⁺(aq) + H₂(g)
C) 2Fe(l) + H₂O(l) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2H₂(g)
D) Fe(l) + 2H₂O(l) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2OH^- (aq) + 2H₂(g)
E) Fe(l) + 2H₂O(l) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2OH^- (aq) + H₂(g)
