    FeO (s) + H2 (g) → Fe (s) + H2O (g)

    Explanation:

    Moles of Iron will be = 4.35 g/55.845 g/mol

    = 0.0786 moles

    Moles of water = 1.86 g/18 g/mol

    = 0.103 moles

    The mole ratio of Iron to water

    = 0.0786 : 0.103

    = 1 : 1.3

    = 1 : 1

    Therefore, the equation for the reaction is;

    FeO (s) + H2 (g) → Fe (s) + H2O (g)
