Explanation:

A balanced chemical reaction is a reaction in which there is equal number of atoms on both reactant and product side. Also, the mass of atoms or compounds present on reactant side equals the mass of atoms or compounds present on product side.

For example, CaSO_{4} + 2HCl \rightarrow CaCl_{2} + H_{2}SO_{4}

Molar mass of CaSO_{4} = 136.14 g/mol

Molar mass of 2HCl = 2 \times 36.46 g/mol = 72.92 g/mol

Therefore, sum of molar mass of reactants = (136.14 + 72.92) g/mol

                                                                       = 209.05 g/mol

Molar mass of CaCl_{2} = 110.98 g/mol

Molar mass of H_{2}SO_{4} = 98.07 g/mol

Therefore, sum of molar mass of products = (110.98 + 98.07) g/mol

                                                                       = 209.05

Therefore, we can see that it is true that when you balance a chemical reaction, you are making sure that the law of conservation of matter is obeyed.

<span>Answer: yes, when you balance a chemical reaction, you are making sure that the law of conservation of matter is obeyed.

Justification:
</span><span />

<span>1) When you balance a chemical reaction, you add the coefficients to make the number of atoms of each element in the left side of the equation (reactants) equal to number of atoms of the same elements in the right side (products).
</span><span />

<span>2) Since, each atom has a unique atomic mass associated, it results, necessarily, that the mass of the atoms of the reactants is equal to the mass of the atoms of the products</span>.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

1.204428 * 10^24 atoms

Explanation:

Number of moles = 2 mol

Number of atoms = ?

The relationship between moles and atoms is given by the avogadro's umber. This is the number of units in one mole of a substance.  The units can be atoms, ions etc In this case it is atoms. The number is equal to  6.02214076 * 10^23

This means;

1 mol = 6.02214076 * 10^23

2 mol = x

Upon solving for x,

x = 2 * 6.02214076 * 10^23

x = 12.04428 * 10^23

x = 1.204428 * 10^24 atoms
