Answer:
A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and formulae, wherein the reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities on the right-hand side.
Explanation:
The chemical equation needs to be balanced so that it follows the law of conservation of mass.

- A chemical change is represented by a chemical equation.
- When the number of atoms of different elements on reactant and product side are equal then the chemical equation is called a balanced chemical equation.
- It is important to balance a chemical equation because :
- To validate the law of conservation of mass which states that the mass of reactants should be equal to the mass of products. The total mass of a system is conserved. This law holds true only if number of atoms of reactants reacting together is equal to the number of product atoms formed.
- A balanced chemical equation tells us about the physical state of the reactants and products whether they are solid liquid or gas or aqueous.
- It tells us about heat changes that take place in a chemical reaction
