Hope it helps

Answer 2

B. Write the chemical equation using formulas and symbols.

D. Count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products,

Step-by-step explanation:

When balancing chemical equation, it implies that the law of conservation of matter be strictly adhered to.

By so doing, the number of atoms on both sides of the reaction must be the same. Number of atoms in the products and reactants must have the same value.

• It is always a good approach to first write the chemical equation of the reaction.
• This will give an overview of the reacting species and the products being formed.
• Then, go on to count the number atoms in the reactants and product sides of the expression.
• Then balance it using any of the method of balancing chemical equations.
