In a balanced equation, the same number of each kind of atom is shown on each side of the equation. calculate the number of iron (fe), oxygen (o), and carbon atoms (c).

There is a missing portion of this question which shows the reaction that needs balancing:

"In a balanced equation, the same number of each kind of atom is shown on each side of the equation. Calculate the number of iron (Fe), oxygen (O), and carbon atoms (C).

Fe2O3+ 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO2

Based on these values, is the equation balanced?"

To check if this equation is balanced we simply compare the number of each element on each side of the equation.

On the reactant side of the equation we have:

2 Fe atoms
6 O atoms
3 C atoms

On the product side of the equation we have:

2 Fe atoms
6 O atoms
3 C atoms

Therefore, both side of the reaction have the correct and equal number of each atom, so the equation is balanced.
