D) Balanced chemical equation
Answers
Answer:
If the total number of atoms of each element on the left-hand side is equal to that on the right-hand side of an equation, that is called a balanced chemical equation.
Explanation:
If the total number of atoms of each element on the left-hand side is equal to that on the right-hand side of an equation, that is called a balanced chemical equation. A balanced chemical equation is an equation that has the same numbers of atoms for each element in the reaction on the reactant and product sides. This is a condition the equation must satisfy to be compatible with the law of conservation of matter. It can be confirmed by adding the numbers of atoms on both sides of the reaction and comparing these to confirm they are equal. The number of atoms for a given element is calculated by multiplying the coefficient of the formula that containing the element by the element’s subscript in the formula. If an element has more than one formula on a side of the equation, the number of atoms on all of them must be computed and then added together.
