14. Which of the following chemical equations is represented by the word description? Select the correctly balanced equation. Aluminum and Oxygen gas yields Aluminum oxide

## Step 1<br />The problem asks us to identify the correct chemical equation that represents the given word description. The word description is "Aluminum and Oxygen gas yields Aluminum oxide". This means that Aluminum (Al) and Oxygen gas (O2) react to form Aluminum oxide (Al2O3).<br /><br />## Step 2<br />We need to balance the chemical equation. This means that the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of the equation. <br /><br />## Step 3<br />Looking at the options, we can see that option B, "4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3", is the correctly balanced equation. This is because there are 4 Aluminum atoms and 6 Oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation.
