3. Recall
We balance chemical equations to ensure that the equation does not violate the law of conservation of mass.
A chemical equation is said to be balanced when there is an equal number of atoms on both the reactant and product side (RAP Sheet).

4. Example #1
Balance the skeleton chemical equation below:
Fe O2  Fe2O3

5. Example #2
