being able to write a balanced equation for a reaction is very important. By balancing an equation we can tell how much material we will need to start with, what the likely products to form, and how much of these products will form
An equation ... whether it's a chemical equation or an algebraic one ... is
a statement that says "This ... is equal to ... That.".
If the chemical equation isn't balanced, then the statement may look like
an equation, but it's a false statement.
And if you ever get to the point where you want to manipulate chemical reactions
and use them to actually do things, then you'll never know what the reaction will
do unless the equation for it is balanced.
two reasons i can think of is that you need a balanced equation to accuratly predict what your products will be.
also balancing the equation also tells you how much of each reactant will be needed and how much product will form from the reaction.
Reasons are:
1. to obey the law of conservation of mass as atoms can neighter be created nor destroyed during chemical reaction
By balancing the chemical equation, we can get correct amount of reactants and products and we can also find out the amount or mass of them without measuring too.
A coefficient is written in front of a formula to balance a chemical equation.
False. Subscript cannot be change to balance chemical equations. Only coefficients can be added to balance chemical equation.
You must balance chemical equations out before converting because if you don't, you will write down a wrong mole value somewhere along the line when you convert between units.
Which of the following are steps for balancing chemical equations? Check all that apply. B. Choose coefficients that will balance the equation. And D. Recheck the numbers of each atom on each side of the equation to make sure the sides are equal. Apex
all equations balance as the theory of conservation of mass states that no mass should be lost, so all equations should balance
chemical equations
To show it is a solid or a liquid or a gas
A coefficient is written in front of a formula to balance a chemical equation.
False. Subscript cannot be change to balance chemical equations. Only coefficients can be added to balance chemical equation.
A chemical Equation is a shorthand form of a chemical reaction. chemists use it to help them tell the substances that are present such as reactants, products, or proportions.Some equations also tell the physical state of a substance.
The alchemists were the first chemists. They mixed chemicals, but also believed that magic would help them in their experiments and formulas. It didn't. But their chemical experiments eventually led to the science of chemistry.
the synthesis of new chemical chemical by chemists.
Balance everything other than H and O first. Once everything else is balanced, balance hydrogen and then oxygen last
For example chemical engineerig need these data to design chemical processes/installations at industrial scale. Also important in biochemistry, geochemistry, etc.
It is one way of representing a chemical reaction: it tells you what reacts and what is produced. Word equations are an efficient way to describe chemical changes, to help chemists recognize patterns, and to predict the products of a chemical reaction.
GO to Google.com and type in balancing chemical equations and click the 3rd one. It balances it for you. Just type in the formula. :]
Honey hasn't chemical equations.
