Describle two reasons for balancing chemical equation?
what is the chemical equation of nitrogen + oxygen= nitric oxide
Where can you compare balancing chemical equation in real life?
We can compare balancing chemical equation to a mother and her children. She should be fair in giving the things that her children want. She should be equal. :)
When balancing a chemical equation what do the reactants need to be balanced with?
When balancing a chemical equation the reactants need to be balanced with the non-reactants. If you don't the formula will be produce negative results and you'll get the wrong answer.
Why is it important never to change a subscription in a chemical formula when balancing a chemical equation?
It is important never to change a subscript {note correct spelling} in a chemical formula when balancing a chemical equation, because changing a subscript produces a formula that specifies a chemical substance different from the one in the original equation.
How does a subscript in a chemical formula affect balancing chemical equation?
How does a subscript affect the element just before it?
What is the final step in the process of balancing a chemical equation?
Checking of the coefficients.
When balancing a chemical equation what is allowed to adjust?
Coefficients of molecules are adjusted.
Why is it wrong to change subcripts when balancing chemical equation?
When you are balancing known reactants and known products which is always the case when you are asked to "balance" a chemical equation you must not change the subscripts as that changes the reactants or the products to a different chemical compound.
Why do scientists have to make sure chemical equations are balanced?
Balancing a chemical equation establishes what proportions of the reactants are required for complete reaction as well as the proportions of the products of the reaction. Some factors in balancing the equation will also dictate what the products ARE. For example - when balancing the equation for a combustion reaction, the presence of nitrogen in the fuel molecule will yield certain products while it's absence will exclude certain products. Likewise, when performing electrochemical reaction balances, balancing the electrochemistry will dictate the products of the reaction.
What law of chemical change is followed in balancing chemical equation?
The laws of conservation of mass and of numbers of each type of atom.
What have you learned after balancing chemical equations?
being able to write a balanced equation for a reaction is very important. By balancing an equation we can tell how much material we will need to start with, what the likely products to form, and how much of these products will form
How can you balance a chemical equation by changing the subscripts?
Balancing only allows you to change the coefficients, NOT the subscripts.
