The answer is c.
hope this helps! :)
I do not agree with the statement.
The "substance" can be a compound. It's "pure"
as long as there's nothing else in it but its name.
'Pure' water is 100% H₂O with nothing else in it.
'Pure' table salt is 100% NaCl with nothing else in it.
'Pure' carbon dioxide is 100% CO₂ with nothing else in it.
These example substances are all compounds, not elements.
Answer:
C. Recheck the numbers of each atom on each side of the equation
to make sure the sides are equal.
D. Choose coefficients that will balance the equation
Explanation:
In balancing of chemical equation, the number of atoms on both sides must be equal in adherence to the law of conservation of mass.
Using the method of inspection, the equation is first observed to know the relationship between the combining atoms and the resulting ones.
After observing the reaction, put a coefficient that will balance the equation. Then recheck the number of each atom on both side of the equation. One can repeat the process till the equation is balanced.
