Question

Why must the number and type of atoms be the same in the products of a chemical reaction as in the reactants?

Answer 1

Answer:

The law of conservation of matter says that matter cannot be created or destroyed. In chemical equations, the number of atoms of each element in the reactants must be the same as the number of atoms of each element in the products. ... There are two oxygen atoms in the reactants and two atoms of oxygen in the product.

Answer 2

The total number and every type of atoms would be the similar in the products built with chemical reaction as in the reactants in the conversation law.

Explanation:

• The total number in all the substances is taking part in the form of chemical reaction would be the similar in any chemical reaction.
• The total number of atoms in the any reaction would be the similar. Mass could not be produced or/and destroyed in the any chemical reaction.
• Chemical equations should be equally balanced in order to get the satisfaction, which resembles that matter could not be produced or/and destroyed by the any closed or open system in the conservation law in the any matter.
