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.
