Question

Charlie is balancing an equation. She has identified the atoms and counted the number of each in the reactants and products. What would Charlie adjust to make the number of atoms in the reactants the same as the number of atoms in the products? A. coefficients B. subscripts C. superscripts D. parentheses

Answer 1

superscripts identified the atoms and counted the number of each in the reactants

Answer 2

A. coefficients

Step-by-step explanation:

Balancing the chemical reaction -

As , we know , atoms can not be created and destroyed , hence their is only the transfer of atoms , which take place in a chemical reaction .

Hence , it is important to balance a chemical reaction .

for any reaction , the atoms are balanced by using certain whole number that are placed as a coefficient .

As, is the numbers are placed as superscripts or subscripts, it will alter the chemical structure of the compound .

Hence , the correct answer is A. coefficients .
