The reaction between steel wool (iron) and vinegar (acetic acid) produces iron acetate and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:
Fe + 2CH3COOH → Fe(CH3COO)2 + H2
This equation is balanced as it shows the conservation of mass with equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.
