Discussion: The Law of Conservation of Matter20 points
A chemical equation conveys information about a chemical reaction. Why is it important to make sure that chemical equations are balanced and why should you not alter the identities of the substances involved when you balance an equation? How would an unbalanced chemical equation convey misleading information about what took place during a chemical reaction? Answer these questions in terms of the law of conservation of matter.
