Question

2. Chromium+oxygen - chromium(III) oxide
balanced​

Answer 1

4Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Step-by-step explanation:

Information from the question include:

Chromium + oxygen -> chromium(III) oxide

From the word equation given above, the equation can be written as follow:

Cr + O2 —> Cr2O3

The equation can be balance by doing the following:

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Cr2O3 and 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Now, we have 4 atoms of Cr on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of Cr as shown below:

4Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Now the equation is balanced
