Balance the following chemical equation: FeS + O 2 → Fe 2 O 3 + SO 2

Iron sulphide undergoes oxidation to form Ferric oxide and the liberation of Sulphur dioxide. The balanced equation is written as: 4 FeS + 7 O 2 → 2 Fe 2 O 3 + 4 SO 2 For the balancing of reaction the number of atoms of each element on each side should be equal.

Balance the following chemical equation: CO 2 + Ca OH 2 → CaCO 3 + H 2 O

A balanced chemical equation should contain an equal number of atoms on both the sides of the equation. That is, it should obey the law of conservation of mass. The given reaction represents the reaction between calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide. It can be balanced as CO 2 + Ca OH 2 → CaCO 3 + H 2 O
