Explain the following terms with examples. Balanced equation

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’.
