No balance=No conservation of mass

So, you would not know how much to add from this reactant and maybe no reaction will occur.

Why an unbalanced equation cannot fully describe a reaction?

An unbalanced equation (skeleton equation) only indicates the nature of the reactants and products but tells nothing of the stoichiometric ratios, i.e. it tells nothing of how much of each species is present, not which reactant might be in excess or limiting, etc.

I have a maths question i dont get please help me!"Describe fully the graph which has the equation x² + y² = 16."?

It's a circle. The equation of a circle is x^2+y^2=r^2. So the equation you've given is a circle with a radius of 4 and, since there are no modifications to the x or y values, the center of the circle is located at (0,0).

Why is the equation H2 O2H2O incorrect?

Well it fully depends on what type of copper you have. if you have Cu1+ then when you do an ionic equation and switch the ion charges, then the compound you would get would be Cu2O. If you had Cu2+ then the compound would end up being CuO. You cant just put two things together and assume its right. You have to do an ionic equation and then balance your reaction.
