Solution
The balanced chemical reaction for the given chemical reaction is shown below:
$\rm 2 Fe + \frac{3}{2} O_{2} → Fe_{2} O_{3}$
$\rm 4 Fe + 3 O_{2} → 2 Fe_{2} O_{3}$
It is an addition or synthesis reaction because two substances ($\rm Fe$ and $\rm O_{2}$) combine to form a single substance ($\rm Fe_{2}O_{3}$).
