    Iron rusts when exposed to oxygen in the air. This chemical reaction can be represented by the balanced chemical equation Fe + O2 → Fe2O3, where iron and oxygen react to form iron oxide (rust). Balancing chemical equations involves adjusting the coefficients of the reactants and products so their sums are equal, and can be done through trial and error.

    BALANCE
    The chain is exposed in the air
    Rust is formed
    Reactant Product
    Fe + O2  Fe2O3
    Iron (chain) Oxygen (air) Iron Oxide (rust)

    Chemical Equation
    4 Fe+3 O2  2 Fe2O3

    4 = 4 x 1 - Fe - 2 x 2 = 4
    6 =3 x 2 - O - 3 x 2 = 6

    Balancing a chemical equation


    (trial and error)
    NaCl  Na + Cl2

    Na
    Cl
    Let’s answer the following:

    1. ZnO  Zn + O2
    2. KClO3  KCl + O2
    3. Li + O2  Li2O
