4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
That is a question you NEVER EVER need to ask. Why? Because you can count. Here is how.
I see 4 Fe on the left side. I see 2 x 2 = 4 Fe on the right side.
I see 3 x 2 = 6 O atoms on the left side. I see 2 x 3 = 6 O atoms on the right side. Of course it's balanced. Technically, since this is a redox reaction, it must be balanced by electron change also. MOST OF THE TIME, BUT NOT ALWAYS, if you balance the atoms the rest will take care of itself.
