:A balanced equation MUST have EQUAL numbers of EACH type of atom on BOTH sides of the arrow.An equation is balanced by changing coefficients in a somewhat trial-and-error fashion. It is important to note that only the coefficients can be changed, NEVER a subscript.
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.
The chemical formula (not equation) is KClO3
Proteins have a very complicate chemical formula but not a "balanced chemical equation".
A balanced chemical equation is when both the products and the reactants are balanced, or have the same number of atoms on each side of the equation. For example: 2H20 --> 2H2 + O2 This means there are 2 water molecules as the reactants (before reaction) and 4 hydrogen and 2 oxygen atoms as the products (after reaction). Technically the equation wouldn't work in real life if it weren't correctly balanced.
A balanced chemical equation has correct placed coefficients and a representative chemical equation need these coefficients.
A balanced chemical equation.

The subscript is mentioned only in a chemical formula.3 FeCl3 in a chemical reaction is not similar to Fe3O4 in a chemical formula.

Do not try this! 2Na +2HCl --> 2NaCl + H2 The last 2 should be a subscript.
The subscript denotes how much of that atom is in the molecule.
How does a subscript affect the element just before it?
The chemical formula (not equation) is KClO3
the purpose of a subscript is to tell how many atoms of that chemical is used in the formulaThe number of atoms of the same element in the molecule ~APEX
