Display a detailed scientific illustration that indirectly explains the reaction between iron filings and dilute tetra oxosulphate (vi) acid. The scene should involve a laboratory setting with a Caucasian female scientist observing the reaction inside a beaker. She is wearing safety goggles and a lab coat. On the table, also represent an iron filing and a bottle with dilute tetra oxosulphate (vi) acid next to the beaker. For educational purposes, also include abstract representations of the molecules involved in the reaction floating around the beaker. Make sure to not include any text in the image.

Write an equation for the reaction between the iron filings and dilute tetra oxosulphate (vi) acid

about 10 seconds with google turned up

Fe (s) + H2SO4 (aq) → FeSO4 (aq) + H2 (g)

I am still a beginner in the field of science

Thanks for the answer

I was just too lazy to do it on my own

No worries! It's great that you're interested in science and learning new things. Keep asking questions and exploring. Good luck!

I just started

To write the equation for the reaction between iron filings (Fe) and dilute tetra oxosulphate (VI) acid (H2SO4), we need to consider the oxidation states and the charges of the elements involved.

First, let's identify the oxidation states of the elements:
- Iron (Fe) typically has an oxidation state of +2.
- Oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2.
- Hydrogen (H) has an oxidation state of +1.
- Sulphur (S) can have an oxidation state of +6 in H2SO4.

Given this information, we can write the balanced equation as follows:

Fe + H2SO4 -> FeSO4 + H2

Explanation of the equation:
- Iron (Fe) reacts with dilute tetra oxosulphate (VI) acid (H2SO4).
- The reaction yields iron sulfate (FeSO4) and hydrogen gas (H2).

Keep in mind that this equation represents the overall reaction. In reality, the reaction may occur through several intermediate steps.

I should point out that your name for H2SO4 is NOT an IUPAC approved name. The correct IUPAC name is sulfuric acid. There is no chemical named tratraoxosulfate(vi) acid.
