Sure, let's identify the reactants and products in the given chemical equation:
Given chemical equation:
[tex]\[ 2 \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 + 3 \text{C} \rightarrow 4 \text{Fe} + 3 \text{CO}_2 \][/tex]
### Explanation:
1. Reactants: These are the substances that are present at the start of a chemical reaction. In the given equation, the substances that react to form the products are on the left side.
2. Products: These are the substances that are formed as a result of the chemical reaction. In the given equation, the substances produced are on the right side.
Let's organize this step-by-step:
1. Identify the Reactants:
- The substances on the left side of the equation before the arrow ([tex]\(\rightarrow\)[/tex]) are: [tex]\[ 2 \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 \text{ and } 3 \text{C} \][/tex]
2. Identify the Products:
- The substances on the right side of the equation after the arrow ([tex]\(\rightarrow\)[/tex]) are: [tex]\[ 4 \text{Fe} \text{ and } 3 \text{CO}_2 \][/tex]
Now, let’s place the appropriate terms in their categories in the table.
### Table with Reactants and Products:
[tex]\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Reactant} & \text{Product} \\
\hline
\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 & \text{Fe} \\
3 \text{C} & 3 \text{CO}_2 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\][/tex]
So, after labeling each substance correctly:
- Reactants are: [tex]\( \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( \text{C} \)[/tex]
- Products are: [tex]\( \text{Fe} \)[/tex] and [tex]\( \text{CO}_2 \)[/tex]
### Final Table:
[tex]\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Reactant} & \text{Product} \\
\hline
\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 & \text{Fe} \\
\text{C} & \text{CO}_2 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\][/tex]
