what are the advantages and disadvantages of balanced equations
Answers
Answer:
Advantages of writing chemical equation in symbols and formulas:
It makes the writing simpler and easier.
A long description can be simply written using the symbols and formulas and the transformation can be understood in this way.
Explanation:
Disadvantages:
A layman may not be able to understand a particular element or a compound by its symbol or formula so it can be a complicated thing for him/her.
(B) In order to balance a chemical equation, one can follow these steps:
(i) Determine the number of atoms of each element present in different compounds/species.
(ii) Place suitable coefficients before the symbol of an element or formula of a compound in order to make the number of atoms equal on both sides of the equation.
(iii) Make the coefficients whole numbers if they are not to maintain atomicity.
(C) A chemical equation has the following components:
(i) Reactants - written on the left
(ii) Products - written on the right
(iii) Arrow - separating the reactants and the products
The physical state of each species is written within a bracket by using symbol s, l, g, and aq for solid, liquid, gas, and aqueous media respectively.
