Zinc + Oxygen Gas -> Zinc Oxide (Word Equation)

2"Zn"(s) + "O"_2(g) -> 2"ZnO"(s) (Balanced Chemical Equation)

Explanation:

Zinc reacts with oxygen gas to produce zinc oxide

2"Zn" + "O"_2 -> 2"ZnO"

(The total mass of the products has to be equal to the total mass of the reactants -> refer to the law of conservation of mass and energy).
