In the balanced equation $xFe + yH_2O \rightarrow Fe_3O_4 + zH_2$, what are the values of x, y, and z?

Ax=1, y=2, z=2

Bx=3, y=4, z=4

Cx=3, y=2, z=2

Dx=2, y=3, z=3

✓ Correct Answer: B — x=3, y=4, z=4

To balance the equation: 3Fe atoms, 8 Hydrogen atoms (4x2), and 4 Oxygen atoms are needed on both sides.
