Hydrogen gas is passed over hot iron (II) oxide powder.
My initial answer was that there was going to be no reaction because of the fact that H2 is less active than Fe:
[tex]H_{2} + FeO \rightarrow No Reaction[/tex]
Then, I looked over the web to find the answer to this but encountered two different ones. The first one complies with the rule for the activity series. However, I found this answer to be contradicting with mines since Fe is more active than H2:
[tex]H_{2} + FeO \rightarrow Fe + H_{2}O[/tex]
The other answer I found was the following, which I have no idea how they got:
[tex]H_{2} + FeO \rightarrow Fe + H_{3}O^{+}[/tex]
Which of these equations is the the right one for the problem?
