How to Balance:
Ba + O2 → BaO
Word equation: Barium + Oxygen gas → Barium oxide
Type of Chemical Reaction: For this reaction we have a combination reaction.
Balancing Strategies: To balance this equation start by changing the coefficient in front of the BaO (Barium oxide) in order to balance the oxygen atoms.
This is a combination reaction where the Barium and and oxygen join together to form Barium oxide.

When balancing chemical equations our goal is to have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.
Only change the coefficients (these are the numbers in front substances).
