Balance the equation:
SO2 + NO2 → SO3 + NO
im confused, isnt this already balanced since both sides have equal number of atoms

Yes, this equation is already balanced. Since all chemical reactions are essentially the rearrangement of atoms, it is important for the number of atoms to remain the same on each side of the equation. If the equation is balanced, that means that the same number of atoms are on both sides of the equation and the reaction can occur. Therefore, this equation is already balanced since it contains the same number of atoms on both sides.
