Question

13. What is a balanced chemical equation? Why should chemical equations be balanced?​

Answer 1

A chemical equation needs to be balanced because a chemical reaction is just a rearrangement of atoms. Atoms themselves are neither created nor destroyed during the course of a chemical reaction. The chemical equation needs to be balanced to follow the law of conservation of mass.

Answer 2

If in a chemical equation the total number of atoms in the reactant side are equal to the total number of atoms in the product side then the chemical reaction is said to be balanced.

⭐ For example : The chemical reaction should be balanced show that it can follow the law of conservation of mass.
