2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
C + O2 --> CO2
2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaCl
2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
These are all combination (synthesis) reactions.

Calculating the amount of product formed in a chemical reaction, determining the limiting reactant in a reaction, and balancing chemical equations are all examples of stoichiometry.
Chemical equations provide a more concise and standardized way to represent chemical reactions. They offer a clear visual representation of the reactants, products, and stoichiometry involved in a reaction, making it easier to understand and analyze the reaction. Chemical equations also follow the law of conservation of mass, ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is balanced on both sides of the equation.
formulas
Chemical equations provide specific information about the reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction, including the ratio of the substances involved and the energy changes that occur. This level of detail is not conveyed in word equations, making chemical equations more precise and useful for scientific analysis. Additionally, chemical equations can be used to predict the outcome of reactions and to balance equations, which is important for accurate experimental design.
No, balancing chemical equations is not called chemolibrium. Chemolibrium is not a recognized term in chemistry. Balancing chemical equations is the process of ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
