It is important to balance the equation, so that you know the exact ratio of reactants required and products formed. If you don't consult a balanced equation, some of your reactant may not completely consume in reaction or sufficient product is not formed during experiments.

Does a skeleton equation show the correct formulas of the reactants and products?
A skeleton equation has all the correct reactants and products but it does not have the coefficients that indicate the stoichiometric proportions.
What is the coefficent that shows in a chemical equation?
Equations for chemical reactions may require one or more whole-number coefficients in order for the equation to balance. Balancing a chemical equation upholds the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. The coefficients represent molar ratios of reactants and products. Performing stoichiometric calculations is largely dependent upon these correct molar proportions.
What is the correct equation for the decomposition of magnesium chloride?
That's an easy one to balance as long as know the products. Magnesium carbonate decomposes into magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide. Here's the equation: MgCO3 --> MgO + CO2. The equation requires no coefficients to balance; it balances itself.
How do you balance the equation Li20 HNO3 - LiNO3 H2O?
2Na + 2H2O -> 2NaOH + H2 Is the correct equation
What is a balanced chemical equation why should the chemical equation be balanced?
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.
Which do you use to balance equations subscrips or coefficients?
Both. you must have the correct subscripts to represent the correct chemical then you only change the coefficients to balance the equation. The product of a coefficient and a subscript tells how many atoms are present.
What is the correct set of coefficients for the equation below?
2111.Equation coefficients are needed to write a correct chemical equation
What is a balanced chemical equation . why should chemical be balanced?
A balanced chemical equation has correct placed coefficients and a representative chemical equation need these coefficients.
When the equation kmno4 plus mgs k2s plus mgmno42 is balanced what will be the correct set of coefficients?
When the equation kmno4 plus mgs k2s plus mgmno42 is balanced, the correct set of coefficients is 2111.

What information in a balanced chemical equation and shows how many moles of a reactant are involved in the reaction?
These data are given by the correct coefficients in the chemical equation.

Which is the correct set of coefficients for the equation below na2cr2o7 plus alpo4 na3po4 plus al2cr2o73?
3, 2, 2, 1
Which is the correct form for a linear equation?
The general form is for a linear equation in n variables is SUM aixi = b (i = 1,2,3,...,n) where xi are the variables and the ai are constant coefficients.
How do you balance the equation between propionic acid and sodium hydroxide?
is this equation correct? CH3CH2COOH + NaOH --> CH3CH2COONa +H2O
How do you write the correct coefficients in correct order after this equation has been balanced ai2 co3 3 plus znci2 znco3 plus aici3?
First off, you have the equation written wrong... those are Ls not Is. so it's Al2(CO3)3 + ZnCl2 = ZnCO3 + AlCl3 The balanced form of that equation is Al2(CO3)3 + 3 ZnCl2 = 3 ZnCO3 + 2 AlCl3 So the coefficients are 1,3,3,2
