Question

Is the number of total molecules on the left side of a balanced equation always equal to the number of total molecules on the right side of the equation? explain your answer.3. is the number of total molecules on the left side of a balanced equation always equal to the number of total molecules on the right side of the equation? explain your answer?

Answer 1

Since no reaction creates or destroys atoms, every balanced chemical equation must have equal numbers of atoms of each element on each side of the equation. However, the number of molecules does not necessarily have to be the same.

 

The answer is

No, the total number of molecules can be equal or not

Answer 2

Answer:

No, the number of total molecules on the left side of a balanced equation is not equal to the number of total molecules on the right side of the equation. A molecule is the smallest number of atoms bonded together for a chemical reaction. The total number of atoms must be the same, but not molecules. The reactants and products will bond together in different ways leading to different numbers of reactants and products
