What is a balanced chemical equation? Why should a chemical equation be balanced?
Advertisements
Solution
The chemical equation in which the number of atoms of each element on both sides is equal is called the balanced equation. A chemical equation should be balanced because there is no loss or gain of any matter during a chemical reaction, i.e., the law of conservation of matter must hold good for the reaction.
