By having the same numbers of atoms of each kind of element present in the equation in the written numbers (coefficient multiplied by subscript) of each kind of element on both sides of the equation.
In a correctly written chemical equation, reactants are the substances to the left of the arrow, and products are the substances to the right of the arrow. The reactants are what you have before the reaction starts, and the products are what you have when the reaction is over.
4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --> 2Fe2O3(s)
A chemical formula written over the arrow in a chemical equation is that of the catalyst used in the reaction.
Because the Balanced equation can correctly add the reactants and it will equal the sum of the products.If a chemical equation is balanced correctly, there will be the same number of each element on both sides. Since each element has a given and known mass, the total mass on each side of the balanced equation must be equal.

In a complete and correctly balanced chemical equation you will have the coefficients for each reactant and product indicating the mole ratios as well as the phases of each reactant and product.
The written statement that shows a chemical reaction is called an "equation". The representation of each reactant is called its chemical formula.
The reactants must be balanced correctly with reactants.
No. The reactants are written on the left of the arrow.

To correctly determine the balanced chemical equation, one must make sure that the products are appropriately relating to the reactants and make sure that the equation is balanced with the lowest coefficients.
