Water has a $3$ coeeficient. Is the equation stoichiometrically balanced? If not, then it should be.
The oxide ion is dibasic, and reacts with 2 equiv $H^+$ to give the water molecule:
$O^(2-) +2H^(+) rarr H_2O$
How would write a balanced equation that represented the formation of nickel chloride from nickel oxide?
$"Nickel oxide + hydrochloric acid "rarr" Nickel chloride + water"$
