4Fe + 3O2 -> 2Fe2O3
Ch4 + 2o2 => co2 + 2h2o
A balanced equation is that equation which obeys the law of conservation of mass.(Added: also the law of conservation of (the kind of) elements should be obeyed).In such an equation the number of atoms for each elementin the reaction and the net or overall charge is same for the reactants and products.
The Law of Multiple Proportions states that two or more compounds may be made from the same elements but each compound will obey the Law of Definite Proportions. Combining two elements to create another element can only be done with precise measurements of each element or another element would be created instead of the one intended.
To show that none of it was either created or destroyed; to also show that it was an equal equation on both sides , in which it obeys the law of conservation of mass.
A balanced chemical reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass, because the same number of atoms of each element must appear on both sides of the equation for the reaction, and in any actual reaction, the same exact atoms will be found on both sides of the equation.
If something obeys a Law of Conservation, the total amount of it is the same at the end of a process as at the start.
In terms of Chemistry, such equation which obeys the law of conservation of mass are balanced equations since the mass is the same on both the reactants and the product side. In simple words the no. of atoms on both sides are the same making the sum of the atomic masses the same too. Like in the equation: CH4 + 2O2 --------------------> CO2 + 2H2O notice that there is only one carbon on both sides, 4 hydrogen atoms and 4 oxygen atoms on both sides. If we sum their atomic masses it will be equal to 80 on both the reactant and the product side satisfying the "Law of Conservation of Mass" which says the initial and final weight of the system remains the same.
The only condition where mass can be extinguished is if it is converted into energy. When this happens it obeys the well known equation E=mc2
This is because according to the law of conservation of mass mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. to prove this statement correct a chemical equation should be balanced
Yes, the reaction of sodium and chlorine obeys the law of conservation of matter. This law states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. In the reaction between sodium and chlorine, sodium atoms combine with chlorine atoms to form sodium chloride. The total number of atoms before and after the reaction remains the same, demonstrating the conservation of matter.
Probably you.
