Which purpose is served by an unbalanced chemical equation versus a balanced chemical equation? (1 point)

Question

An unbalanced chemical equation demonstrates a general reaction that occurs between several compounds. A balanced chemical
equation demonstrates the exact amount of each reactant necessary to create a specific amount of product(s).
An unbalanced chemical equation demonstrates the exact amount of each reactant necessary to create a specific amount of
product(s). A balanced chemical equation demonstrates a general reaction that occurs between several compounds.
An unbalanced chemical equation demonstrates the mass of each product necessary to create a specific mass of product(s). A
balanced chemical equation demonstrates how several compounds react with one another.
An unbalanced chemical equation demonstrates how several compounds react with one another. A balanced chemical equation
demonstrates the mass of each product necessary to create a specific mass of product(s).

Answer 1

I suspect A is the answer your teacher wants; however, D is technically correct also. By the way, you made it VERY hard to read the choices so I copied below with a space between. Why didn't you think of that?
