Question

What is a balanced chemical equation? Why should chemical equations be balanced?​

Answer 1

Balanced chemical equation:

A chemical reaction in which the number of atoms of molecules on reactant and product side are equal then it is called balanced chemical equation.

Eg., 2Mg+O2→2MgO

In the above reaction the mass of magnesium and oxygen is equal on both side therefore it is balanced chemical equation.

Why equations should be balanced:

As per law of conservation of mass it states that mass of matter is constant in a chemical reaction before and after. So it is important to have chemical equation balanced.

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{Answer}}}}$

The chemical equation needs to be balanced so that it follows the law of conservation of mass. A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side. Balancing chemical equations is a process of trial and error.
