Learn step by step how to balance Fe + O2 → Fe2O3 (iron reacting with oxygen). This tutorial explains how to correctly add coefficients so the number of atoms is the same on both sides of the chemical equation.
Essential Tips for Balancing Equations:
✅ Only adjust coefficients, never subscripts.
✅ Balance metals (Fe) first.
✅ Then balance oxygen (O2 → O3 situation requires multiples of 2 and 3).
✅ The final balanced equation is: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3
