What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

What is the importance of balancing chemical equations?

Back

Balancing chemical equations is important to obey the law of conservation of mass, ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
