    Thank you for posting your question to the Ask Me Help Desk.

    Based on what you have written here, all that needs to be done is to add a 2 to the front of your product.

    The result is...

    2 SO2 + O2 --> 2 SO3

    If we count the atoms now we find that there are

    2 sulfur and
    6 oxygen

    On both sides.
