Questions and Answers

What concept does a balanced chemical equation obey?

  • Avogadro's Law
  • Law of Conservation of Energy
  • Law of Conservation of Matter (correct)
  • Dalton's Atomic Theory

What is used to balance a chemical equation?

  • Coefficients (correct)
  • Atomic masses
  • Subscript numbers
  • Superscript numbers

Why should you never change the subscript numbers in a chemical equation?

  • It violates the Law of Conservation of Matter
  • It alters the chemical formula (correct)
  • It creates new elements
  • It changes the reactants and products
