Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

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

Answer 2

AnSwEr

Balanced chemical equation

Balanced chemical equation :- A balanced chemical is type of dquation in which the bot side of reaction is equal

• Means

• Reactants = Product

For eg

$\tt{H_2O + CO_2\xrightarrow{sunlight,Chl}C_6H_12O_6+O_2}$

Balanced form

$\tt{6H_2O + 6CO_2\xrightarrow{sunlight,Chl}C_6H_12O_6+6O_2}$

Why should Equation be balanced?

• The Equation should be balanced

• beacuse it need to satisfy the law of conservationists

Law of conservation of mass

• In a chemical reaction the the mass always be equal in Reactants and product

• law of conservation of mass say that mass neither be created nor be destroyed
