Question 9.
Explain the following terms with examples.
Balanced equation
Answer:
Balanced equation: When the number of atoms of elements in the reactants is equal to the number of atoms of those elements in the products, such a equation is called ‘balanced equation’.
For example: H2 + O2→ 2H2O
In the above table, you can see that number of atoms of reactants are equal to the number of atoms of products. Thus, the reaction is a ‘balanced equation’.
