Chemistry

Rom4ik [11]1 year ago

Answer: It is important for an equation to be balanced because if it is not then the reactants won't match the products.

Explanation: I don't know if you will understand this but here:

Let's say you're cooking eggs, you're reactants so to speak would be 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon of oil so you put it together using heat and a pan. Your products have to match what you have in the beginning. You cannot have an equation that looks like this

Reactants = 3eggs + 1Tbsp oil ---pan/heat---> 6eggs + 1 cup of oil

You cannot get something from what you don't have. The number of how much of an element you have must be the same of both sides of the equation.

there's no picture here but I guess the answer would be:

considering the constant temperature, if you double the volume, the pressure would be halved.

like: volume is 2, pressure is 4

if 2×2, then:4÷2
