Solution

Fe₃O₄(s) $+$ 8HCl(l) $\to$ FeCl₂(s) $+$ 2FeCl₃(s) $+$ 4H₂O(l)
In this reaction, iron oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce ferrous chloride, ferric chloride, and water.
A balanced chemical equation is an equation in which the total number of each atom present on the reactant side and product side are equal.
The reactants are iron oxide and hydrochloric acid. The products are ferrous chloride, ferric chloride, and water.
The number of atoms in both sides, Fe = 3, O =4, H = 8, Cl = 8.
So the reaction is balanced.
The equation for the chemical reaction Fe₃O₄(s) $+$ 8HCl(l) $\to$ FeCl₂(s) $+$ 2FeCl₃(s) $+$ 4H₂O(l) is a balanced equation.
