Zinc sulfide reacts with oxygen gas to produce zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide.

2ZnS +3O₂ --> 2ZnO + 2SO₂

Write the chemical equation for the formation of the indicated number of moles of each compound from its elements. Algebraically combine these equations to obtain the given equations.

1. 2 Zn + S -->2 ZnS
2. 2 Zn + 1/2 O₂ -->2 ZnO
3. 2 S +O₂ -->2 SO₂

(1) 2 ZnS --> 2 Zn + S (flipped equation)
(2) 2 Zn + 1/2 O₂ -->2 ZnO
(3) 2 S +O₂ -->2 SO₂

Can you help me check if what I have so far is right and also, should there be more steps after this?

1. 2 Zn + S -->2 ZnS
2. 2 Zn + 1/2 O2 -->2 ZnO
3. 2 S +O2 -->2 SO2

(1) 2 ZnS --> 2 Zn + S (flipped equation)
(2) 2 Zn + 1/2 O2 -->2 ZnO
(3) 2 S +O2 -->2 SO2

All above reaction are not balanced properly
