      The equilibrium constant K=PH2O/PH2 for the reaction FeO+H2=Fe+H2O was determined by a flow method.  At 600°, 700°, 800°, 900°, and 1,000°, K is, respectively, 0.332, 0.422, 0.499, 0.594, and 0.669.  For the reaction Fe3O4+H2=3FeO+H2O, K is 1.18 at 700° and 2.37 at 800°.  The water-gas constants, calculated by combining these Fe-H-O equilibrium values with those for the Fe-C-O system, agree excellently with constants measured directly by Neumann and Kohler.
