Answer:
No, we cannot change the formula of the reactants or products.
Explanation:
- We can only change the coefficients of the reactants and products to balance a chemical reaction.
- The subscripts in equations should never be changed.
- A coefficient is added. Coefficients are multipliers for whole numbers.
- To balance out the number of atoms, you count the number of atoms on either side of the equation and add coefficients to the molecules.
- First, consider the atoms that make up a single molecule of each reactant and product.
- Atoms of oxygen or hydrogen should be balanced last.
- The final stage in balancing chemical equations is to give oxygen and hydrogen atoms coefficients.
- They typically show up in a variety of reactants and products, which is the reason.
We never change the formula of products or reactants while balancing chemical equations.
