No balance=No conservation of mass

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

The information not provided by a chemical equation?

A chemical equation does not provide information about the physical state of the substances (solid, liquid, gas, or aqueous) involved in the reaction, the reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, catalyst), the rate of the reaction, the mechanism of the reaction, or any side reactions that may occur. This additional information is often necessary to fully understand and describe a chemical reaction.


Can the complete ionic equation and the net ionic equation for a double replacement reaction ever be the same?

Yes. If both compounds are insoluable in water then the complete/overall ionic equation and the net ionic equation will look the same. The only way they look different is if there are spectator ions(ions that appear on both sides of the equation).


When does a chemical reaction go to completion?

A chemical reaction goes to completion when all the reactants have been fully converted into products, with no remaining reactants left.


What does stoichiometry mean?

Stoichiometry is the calculation of the quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on the balanced chemical equation. It involves determining the relative amounts of substances involved in a reaction to ensure that all reactants are completely consumed and products are fully formed.


What are the coefficients for the balanced equation of the combustion of pentane?

Complete combustion of pentane follows the chemical formula:C5H12 + 8 O2 → 5 CO2 + 6 H2O

Why cant an unbalanced chemical equation fully describe a reaction?

An unbalanced chemical equation does not accurately reflect the ratio of reactants and products in a chemical reaction, which can affect the stoichiometry of the reaction. Balancing the equation is necessary to ensure that the law of conservation of mass is obeyed and to correctly represent the chemical species involved in the reaction.


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.

It is just one component of the fully completed equation.

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).


How did piggy describe everyones reaction about the fire?

Piggy described everyone's reaction to the fire as mostly chaotic and disorganized. He noted that the boys would often become caught up in the excitement of the moment without fully considering the potential consequences or thinking through a plan of action.


What are the 13 moons of Neptune And can you describe them fully?

I cannot describe them fully, but they are: Naiad. Thalassa. Despina. Galatea. Larissa. Proteus. Priton. Nereid. The rest are not named, but are called if ever addressed as N1 through 5.


Chemical equaton of reaction between glycine and ninhydrin solution?

The reaction between glycine and ninhydrin solution results in the formation of a purple compound called Ruhemann's purple. The chemical equation for this reaction is: 2 Glycine + Ninhydrin --> Ruhemann's purple. The exact chemical structure of Ruhemann's purple is not fully understood, but it is commonly used in the detection of amino acids.
