Equations should be balanced because of a basic scientific law known as the Law of Conservation of Mass. The Law simply means that all the mass you start with in a chemical reaction should be present at the end. Balancing the equation allows scientists to mathematically predict how much matter there should be at the end of a reaction.
The balanced equation for Mg + O2 is 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO.
The chemical reaction is:WO3 + 3 H2 = W + 3 H2O
A balanced chemical equation has correct placed coefficients and a representative chemical equation need these coefficients.
Assuming double displacement. FeCl3 + 3NaNO2 --> Fe(NO2)3 + 3NaCl
The coefficient that should be placed in front of PCl3 to balance the equation depends on the specific chemical equation you are referring to. Can you please provide the chemical equation?
Coefficients should be placed in front of the chemical formulas in a chemical equation to balance it. They are used to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both the reactant and product sides of the equation.
We can compare balancing chemical equation to a mother and her children. She should be fair in giving the things that her children want. She should be equal. :)
A chemical equation is a shorthand description of a chemical reaction.
Changing subscripts in chemical formulas should never be done to balance a chemical equation because it changes the identity of the compounds involved. Instead, coefficients should be adjusted to balance the equation without altering the chemical formulas.
C5h12 + 8o2 --> 5co2 + 6h2o
A chemical reaction can be represented by a chemical equation.
A correctly written chemical equation should show the reactants on the left side and the products on the right side, separated by an arrow. The equation should be balanced, meaning that the number of each type of atom is the same on both sides of the equation. The chemical formulas of the substances involved should be correctly written with the appropriate subscripts and coefficients.
