Q.“We need to balance a skeltal chemical equation.” Give reason to justify the
statement.
Answer. Skeltal chemical equation are unbalanced. We need to balance chemical equation
because of law of conservation of mass. It states that ‘matter can neither be created nor be
destroyed’. Therefore chemical equation must be balanced in each and every chemical
reaction.
Answer.
(i) Physical state of reactants must be mentioned, e.g.
2H2 (g) + O2 (g)——– > 2H20 (l)
(ii) Condition in which reaction takes place are written on the arrow head, e.g.
(ii) In desert plants the stomata are open at night. They take CO2 at night and is stored in
the form of acid and is used during day time for photosynthesis.
