When iron reacts with atmospheric oxygen, it leads to the formation of a new compound called iron oxide or Ferric oxide which is commonly known as rust. The balanced equation for this reaction is:

4Fe+ 3O2 = 2Fe2O3

A balanced equation has an equal number of the atom in both reactants as well as on the product side. When we examine the above-given equation we may find that:
