Problem 8 : Balance the following chemical equation for the reaction between aluminum (Al) and oxygen (O₂) to form aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃):

[4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃]

Solution :

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between aluminum (Al) and oxygen (O₂) to form aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) is already balanced as written: [4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃]
