A balanced chemical equation is a chemist's shortcut for representing the molecules and atoms involved in a chemical process using chemical symbols. On the left side of the equation are the reactants, and on the right are the products. The number of molecules involved is indicated by the coefficients, and the number of atoms in each molecule is indicated by the subscripts.
Based on the interactions of the constituent chemicals, knowledge of the law of conservation of mass, and practise with a few example equations, chemical equations can be "balanced," much like algebraic equations.

Explanation:
This reaction is known as mercuric ion catalyzed hydration of alkynes.
The first step in the reaction is attack of the mercuric ion on the carbon-carbon triple bond, a bridged intermediate is formed. This bridged intermediate is attacked by water molecule to give an organomercury enol. This undergoes keto-enol tautomerism, proton transfer to the keto group yields an oxonium ion, loss of the mercuric ion now gives equilibrium keto and enol forms of the compound. The keto form is favoured over the enol form.
