A chemical equation is a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction, which shows the reactants and products involved in the reaction.
Chemical equations are important because they allow us to understand and predict the outcome of chemical reactions, and they also provide a way to balance the amounts of reactants and products involved.
To balance a chemical equation, you need to make sure that the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of the same element on the product side. This is done by adjusting the coefficients (numbers in front of the chemical formulas) of the reactants and products.
A chemical formula is a representation of a single compound, while a chemical equation shows the reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction. Chemical equations also include information about the physical state of each substance and the conditions under which the reaction takes place.
Coefficients in a chemical equation are used to balance the number of atoms of each element on the reactant and product sides. They also represent the relative amounts of each substance involved in the reaction.
