Question

write the chemical equation for the reaction of Zn ( zinc) with oxygen​

Answer 1

Answer:

Zn + O2 = ZnO

Explanation:

To balance  you'll need to be sure to count all of atoms on each side of the chemical equation. Once you know how many of each type of atom you can only change the coefficients (the numbers in front of atoms or compounds) to balance the equation for Zinc + Oxygen gas.

Answer 2

Answer:

Zinc on left side is 1 and right side is also 1

Oxygen of left side is 2 but on right side is 1 so it needs to balanced

Explanation:

Add 2 as coffecient on right side in front of ZnO to make oxygen 2. now oxygen is balanced on both side but not zinc so add 2 in front of Zn on left side to make zinc 2 and hence zinc is also balanced on both side. So the Equation is balance

I hope that the answer and explanation both are clear to you.
