Question
Chemical equations are balanced to satisfy the law of ______.
Advertisements
Solution
Chemical equations are balanced to satisfy the law of conservation of mass.
Explanation:
Chemical equations are balanced to ensure that the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products. This satisfies the law of conservation of mass, which states that atoms cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction. Therefore, the exact same number of atoms for each element must exist on both sides of the equation.
