There are
8
atoms (or moles) of S on the left side and 1 on the right side. Place a coefficient of
8
in front of
SO
3
.
S
8
+
O
2
→
8SO
3
Now there are
8
atoms (or moles) of sulfur on both sides of the equation.
Balance the O. There are
2
atoms (or moles) of O on the left side and
24
on the right. Place a coefficient of
12
in front of
O
2
.
S
8
+
12O
2
→
8SO
3
There are now equal numbers of atoms (or moles) of sulfur and oxygen on both sides and the equation is balanced.
