This balanced equation shows that the number of each type of atom on the reactants side is equal to the number on the products side. This demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Mass, as no atoms are created or destroyed in the reaction—only rearranged to form new substances.

That's correct! The Law of Conservation of Mass states that in a closed system, matter cannot be created or destroyed. In a chemical reaction, the atoms in the reactants are merely rearranged to form products.

In a balanced chemical equation, the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. This ensures that the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products, which is fundamental to the concepts of chemistry.

For example, in the reaction:

\[ aA + bB \rightarrow cC + dD \]

The coefficients \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), and \(d\) represent the number of moles of each substance, ensuring that the number of atoms of each element before the reaction (on the left side) equals the number after the reaction (on the right side).
