Solution

When steam is passed over red hot iron, iron oxide, and hydrogen gas are formed.
The hydrogen gas formed can be collected.
The equation for the reaction is:
$\underset{iron (hot)}{3 Fe (s)} + \underset{steam}{4 H_{2} O} (g) \overset{heat}{\to} \underset{hydrogen}{4 H_{2} (g)} + \underset{ferric oxide}{{Fe}_{3} O_{4}}$
