Use the chemical reaction to answer the question. 4Fe+3O2→2Fe2O3 What happens to atoms of Fe and O2 during the reaction? (1 point) Responses They gain mass. They gain mass. They are rearranged. They are rearranged. They are lost. They are lost. They maintain their properties.
During the reaction, the atoms of Fe and O2 are rearranged.
During the reaction 4Fe+3O2→2Fe2O3, the atoms of Fe and O2 are rearranged.
During the chemical reaction 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3, the atoms of Fe and O2 are rearranged. In this reaction, four atoms of iron (Fe) react with three molecules of oxygen gas (O2) to form two molecules of iron oxide (Fe2O3). The arrangement of the atoms changes as the reactants combine and form the product. However, the total number of atoms of each element is conserved, meaning that no atoms are lost or gained in the reaction. Therefore, the correct answer is that the atoms are rearranged, and they maintain their properties.
