What is the information given by balanced chemical equation?

Answer»
  • A chemical equation gives information about the reactants and products through their symbols and formulae.
  • It gives the ratio of molecules of reactants and products. 
  • As molecular masses are expressed in unified masses, the relative masses of reactants and products are known from the equation. 
  • If the masses are expressed in grams, then the equation also gives the molar ratios of reactants and products. 
  • If gases are involved, we can equate the masses to their volumes. 
  • Using molar mass and Avogadro’s number we can calculate the number of molecules and atoms of different substances from the equation.
