Why Do We Need To Simplify The Balanced Chemical Equation?

Why do we need to simplify the balanced chemical equation?

 

Good Day...

During the chemical reaction, the mass of reactant to product is not lost or not destroyed. Which means, the mass of reactant is always equal to the mass of the product. It is also understood that the number atoms of the same element is equal in both reactant and product. That is why when you balance the equation, you count the number of atoms of elements in both product and reactant making them equal.

Example:

                  Na + Cl2  →  NaCl  

(note: only 1 chlorine atom in the product but 2 in the reactant). We balance this equation because Chlorine atoms in product should be equal to the reactant.

To balance:

                            2Na + Cl2  →  2NaCl

                             Na = 2                Na = 2

                             Cl = 2                  Cl = 2

Hope it helps...=)

Identify And Explain Some Of The Vital Considerations Needed To Know On The Different Methods To Mine A Mineral Deposit.

Identify and explain some of the vital considerations needed to know on the different methods to mine a mineral deposit.   Mineral Resources: Mining Methods: Answer: Vital Considerations Needed to Know on the Different Methods to Mine a Mineral Deposit: Study geological formations and then test the physical and chemical properties of soil and rocks to locate possible ore deposits. Determine the size of the deposits and the concentration of mineral ores. Decide whether a mineral deposit is worth mining. Consider the type of mining to be done. Explanation: A deposit should only be mined if it would be profitable to do so. A concentration of minerals is called an ore deposit only if it is profitable to mine. Ore deposits that are close to the surface are mined by surface mining. In doing the surface mining, any overlying rock is blasted away. The rock that contains the valuable minerals is placed in a truck and taken to a refinery. Several methods of surface mining include op...

Ihanay Naman Ang Mga Trabaho/Occupational Environment Na Kaugnay Nito.

Ihanay naman ang mga trabaho/occupational environment na kaugnay nito.   Answer: Ihanay naman natin ang mga trabaho/occupational environment na kaugnay nito. Ang mga bagay na gustong ginagawa ng indibiduwal ang mahalagang ilagay sa kolum ng pang-araw-araw na gawain na ayaw gawin. Sa katabing kolum naman ay ilalagay niya ang trabaho na may kaugnayan dito. Explanation: Sa oras na maging kumpleto na ang mga kahon matapos niyang ilagay ang kanyang mga sagot, magiging malinaw na sa kanya kung anong uri ng trabaho o hanapbuhay ang kanyang maaaring iwasan. Nagbibigay ito ng linaw sa direksyon ng kanyang buhay sa pamamagitan ng pagtatanggal ng mga pabigat sa pagbuo ng maayos na desisyon. Matitira dito ang mga trabahong katanggap tanggap sa pumipili dahil ayon ito sa kanyang mga interes at hilig.   Narito ang isang halimbawa. Mga pang-araw-araw na gawain na ayaw gawin:   Maglinis ng kulungan ng baboy. Magpakain ng aso. Maghiwa ng gulay at karne. Magluto at magsaing ng kanin. ...
