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.

Let us say that R is the major enantiomer, while
S is the minor enantiomer, therefore the formula for enantiomeric excess (ee)
is:
ee = (R – S) * 100%
Let us further say that the fraction of R is x (R
= x), and therefore fraction of S is 1 – x (S = 1 – x), therefore:
75 = (x – (1 – x)) * 100
75 = 100 x – 100 + 100 x
200 x = 175
x = 0.875
Summary of answers:
R = major enantiomer = 0.875 or 87.5%
<span>S = minor enantiomer = (1 – 0.875) = 0.125 or
12.5%</span>
According to boiling point elevation equation:
Δ T = i Kb m
when ΔT (change in boiling point) = 7.10 C°
and i (van't Hoff factor)= 1
and Kb = 0.520
so, by substitution:
7.10 = 1*0.520 *m
m = 7.1 / 0.52 = 13.65 m
