1.	What type of information do we get from chemical equations?
Answer» A balanced chemical equation can provide the following information :\tThe reactants and products through their symbols and formulae.\tThe ratio of molecules of reactants and products.\tAs molecular masses are expressed in unified mass (u), the relative masses of reactants and products are known from the equation.\tIf the masses are expressed in grams then the equation also gives the molar ratios of reactants and products.\tIf gases are involved, we can equate their masses to their volumes and calcu-late the volumes or those gases liberated at given condition of temperature and pressure using molar mass and molar volume relationship.\tUsing molar mass and Avagadro’s number we can calculate the number of molecules and atoms of different substances from the equation.
